The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) has unveiled a plan to construct four new bypasses in the Chakan-Talegaon industrial region. The proposed Rs 100.14 crore project aims to alleviate traffic congestion on the Pune-Nashik Highway (NH-60) and enhance connectivity to the Chakan MIDC. The four bypass routes have received administrative approval, with work orders issued on February 27, 2026.
The land acquisition process is currently underway, and the projects are scheduled for completion within the next 12 months. The first proposed route will link Hingane Chowk to Kharabwadi; the second will connect SANY Company to the Samruddhi CNG Pump at Nanekarwadi; the third will connect Bangla Wasti Chowk to Rase Phata; and the fourth, the Western Bypass, will connect the Pune-Nashik Highway with Chakan MIDC Phase 5.
These bypasses are part of a larger 17.05 km road development plan, which includes 27 major roads. The initiative seeks to divert industrial traffic and improve the movement of heavy vehicles, ultimately reducing travel time, fuel consumption, and transportation costs for citizens and businesses.
