02 Feb 2022 CW Team

The Maharashtra government has assured the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) that it will provide Rs 300 crore for the construction of a 25 km outer ring road on the city's outskirts, according to municipal commissioner Kailas Jadhav.

The proposed outer ring road, which will be 24 m wide, will help to relieve traffic congestion in central city areas and allow for smooth vehicle movement on the outskirts. Jadhav told the media that he discussed the proposal with Eknath Shinde, the state's urban development minister, who promised to fund the outer ring road project.

According to Jadhav, the city's rapid growth requires the construction of an outer ring road to improve connectivity with the surrounding areas.

Jadhav said that since traffic will be diverted through the outer ring roads, the proposed ring road will alleviate traffic congestion in the central city.The road will start in Adgaon and lead to other areas on the outskirts of the city.

The NMC administration has already issued a separate Expression of Interest (Eol) for joint ventures (JV) to develop an IT Park and a logistic park in the city, where the landowners have a minimum of 50 acres of land.

Within a one km radius on both sides of the proposed Surat-Chennai highway, the Logistic Park will be built. Mayor Satish Kulkarni, who recently approved the project during the NMC's general body meeting, is the brains behind the proposed IT park.

The proposed IT Park will be built on 15 acres in the Adgaon area of the city, according to the civic body.
