To reduce traffic congestion on the Aundh-Ravet BRTS route, the Pimpri-Chinchwad New Town Development Authority (PCNTDA) will construct two flyovers at Kalewadi Phata.
The proposal to allot the contract for the construction of these two flyovers was approved at the monthly meeting of PCNTDA on Tuesday. It was attended by PCNTDA president Dilip Band, chief executive officer Yogesh Mhase and other civic officials.
The estimated cost of the project is Rs18.92 crore. The total width of the two flyovers, to be constructed parallel to each other, will be 730 metres.
The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has proposed bus rapid transit system (BRTS) routes on the Aundh-Ravet route, which is the second BRTS route being developed by the civic body.
The 14.5-km stretch of the road from the Rajiv Gandhi Bridge over the Mula river to Ravet will be widened to 45 metres.
The civic body has also taken up the work of constructing the fourth BRTS route from Kalewadi Phata to Dehu-Alandi Road. This route is being developed in five phases, and work on four stretches has just begun.
Bids are being invited for the fifth portion. The flyover at Empire Estate is being constructed as part of the work and will be completed by October 2013, added the civic officials.
