Overview
- The start point shifts from Hadapsar to Bhairoba Nala, adding about 4.5 km and taking the flyover to roughly 39 km along NH65.
- Implementation is assigned to MSIDC on a build-operate-transfer basis, with tolls after completion, tendering still pending, and a three-year construction target after award.
- The cabinet had sanctioned about Rs 5,262 crore in June for the earlier plan, and officials indicate the longer alignment will increase the final cost.
- Fadnavis directed planners to include provision for a future metro line along the corridor during the road’s construction.
- Officials cite chronic congestion at Bhairoba Nala and project reduced travel times for Yavat, Uruli Kanchan, Patas and Solapur-bound traffic.
