PMRDA to Widen 50-km Road Along Metro for Rs 6.28 Bn

01 Oct 2025 CW Team

The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) will spend Rs 6.28 billion to widen an existing four-lane stretch into a six-lane, 50-km cement concrete road running parallel to the upcoming Hinjewadi–Shivajinagar Metro Line 3. The project aims to enhance connectivity, improve traffic flow, and complement Pune’s metro infrastructure.

According to PMRDA officials, the project will cover 25 km in each direction along the elevated Metro line. It includes four-lane carriageways, parking lanes, bus bays, lay-bys, utility ducts, upgraded pedestrian facilities, cycle tracks, and landscaped medians. Utility shifting, beautification, and electrification work are also part of the plan.

A senior PMRDA engineering official said, “We will widen the remaining four-lane stretches to six lanes, requiring land acquisition. A consultant will be appointed for planning, surveys, design, reporting, and to oversee construction and post-construction work.”

The cost estimate includes potential land acquisition and may be revised following the consultant’s study. Trees along the route will either be cut or transplanted as required. The tender for the project was issued on September 25, 2025.

The project is expected to significantly enhance road and metro integration, providing safer and smoother travel for commuters and supporting Pune’s urban mobility goals.
