PUNE: Authorities are accelerating efforts to finalize land acquisition for the western phase of Pune's Ring Road project by the end of June. The completion of this crucial step is pivotal for advancing the infrastructure development aimed at easing traffic congestion and enhancing connectivity in and around Pune.

The Ring Road project's western phase aims to create a strategic bypass route around Pune, linking key areas and suburbs to improve regional transportation networks. Land acquisition delays have been a significant hurdle, prompting intensified efforts to meet the June deadline and expedite construction timelines.

Once land acquisition is complete, the project will progress to the next phases, including detailed design planning and construction commencement. The Ring Road's western phase is expected to play a vital role in decongesting traffic on existing routes and supporting smoother movement of goods and commuters across Pune's expanding urban landscape.

Officials have expressed confidence in overcoming previous setbacks, emphasising the project's importance in bolstering Pune's infrastructure capabilities and supporting sustainable urban growth. The completion of land acquisition will pave the way for comprehensive infrastructure upgrades, including road widening, intersection improvements, and enhanced connectivity features.

The Pune Municipal Corporation and state authorities are collaborating closely to streamline administrative processes and facilitate timely project execution. Residents and stakeholders eagerly anticipate the positive impacts of the Ring Road project on alleviating traffic woes and enhancing overall urban mobility in Pune.
