The groundwork for the ambitious Pune Ring Road project has officially commenced, with promises to improve connectivity and alleviate traffic congestion in the city. The Eastern Phase, spanning 24.5 km between Pune Nagar Road and Solapur Highway, has been awarded to Roadway Solution India Infra. Operations have already begun in Wadebolhai village near Kesnand.

A report from Punekar news stated that the launch event featured a traditional pooja and was attended by key figures, including Ameet Gadhoke, Managing Director of Roadway Solution India Infra, as well as local leaders Kunal Gupta and Vishal Ghule Patil. Villagers from Wadebolhai participated enthusiastically in the ceremony.

With over 100 excavators and heavy machinery on site, the project is expected to gain momentum once the Government of Maharashtra formally inaugurates the construction phase.

BK Singh, Director of Roadway Solution India Infra, expressed that the event marked a crucial step in enhancing Pune's infrastructure. He stated that the company is dedicated to completing the Eastern Phase on time while maintaining the highest quality standards.

The Pune Ring Road is a massive 170-km infrastructure project with an estimated budget of Rs 7.42 billion, divided into four phases. Its objective is to reduce traffic congestion, improve access to surrounding areas, and stimulate economic growth in Pune.

Singh also mentioned that the official groundbreaking ceremony is anticipated to take place after December 5, 2024, underscoring the project's potential to reshape Pune's urban landscape.
