Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will jointly lay the foundation stones for three major National Highway projects worth over 16,700 crore rupees in Pune today. The three projects include the 53.4-kilometre six-lane road between Kharadi junction and Shirur bypass, which is the first phase of the 246 km long Pune-Sambhajinagar greenfield expressway, 31.65 km road between Hadapsar and Yavat, and 53.2 km between Talegaon-Chakan-Shikrapur. The projects are expected to enhance connectivity, reduce travel time and traffic congestion, and boost industrial and economic growth in the Pune region. The projects will be implemented under the Design, Finance, Build, Operate and Transfer (DFBOT) model with a 29-year concession period and are scheduled for completion within four years.
