The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) has allocated Rs100 crore for the construction and land acquisition of the long-awaited Chakan bypass road.

This new route, connecting Rase Phata, Kadachiwadi, Medankarwadi, and Bangla Vasti, aims to streamline traffic and improve connectivity. PMRDA's Regional Engineer, Jitendra Pagar, provided this information.

The 36-meter wide proposed bypass is a critical project for alleviating congestion on the Chakan-Shikrapur, Chakan-Talegaon roads, and the Pune-Nashik highway. The majority of the land for this project is owned by farmers, with boundaries and measurements already established.

The heavy vehicle traffic from industrial areas exacerbates congestion at Talegaon Chowk, Manik Chowk, and Ambethan Chowk.

Residents, workers, industrialists, students, and farmers have all been severely affected by the ongoing traffic issues. Despite numerous efforts by the Chakan traffic police, the congestion remains unresolved.
