India, June 4 -- To ease Pune-Solapur Highway congestion

In a major step to resolve long-standing traffic congestion on the Pune-Solapur Highway, the Maharashtra state cabinet has approved a Rs.5,262 crore project to construct a six-lane elevated corridor between Hadapsar and Yavat. The proposal received formal clearance on Monday, aiming to address frequent bottlenecks along this route.

The Pune-Solapur stretch is part of a national highway, and the Hadapsar-Yavat section has seen rapid urbanisation over recent years. As a result, thousands of daily commuters are stuck in heavy traffic, often facing long delays during peak hours. Citizens have been consistently demanding a lasting solution to the growing congestion.
