19 Jun 2024 CW Team

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) plans to finalise contractors for the city's ambitious Ring Road project by the end of July. This significant infrastructure initiative aims to enhance connectivity and ease traffic congestion in Pune and its surrounding areas.

The Ring Road project, once completed, will create a vital bypass around Pune, diverting traffic away from the city centre and reducing travel time for commuters. The project is part of PMC's efforts to modernise urban transportation infrastructure and accommodate the city's growing population and vehicular traffic.

According to PMC officials, the selection process for contractors is in its final stages. The project involves multiple phases, including road construction, bridge building, and other associated infrastructure development. The contractors will play a crucial role in executing these phases efficiently and within the stipulated timelines.

The Ring Road is expected to alleviate congestion on existing arterial roads and improve overall traffic management in Pune. It will also enhance connectivity to neighbouring regions, promoting smoother movement of goods and people across different parts of the city.

PMC has prioritised transparency and efficiency in the selection of contractors, ensuring adherence to quality standards and timely project delivery. The civic body aims to collaborate closely with the chosen contractors to overcome any logistical challenges and ensure seamless execution of the Ring Road project.

Once the contractors are finalised by the end of July, PMC will proceed with the next phases of the project, focusing on rigorous planning and execution to meet the city's infrastructure demands effectively. The Ring Road initiative underscores Pune's commitment to sustainable urban development and improved transportation infrastructure for its residents.
