This ambitious project, expected to begin soon, will significantly reduce travel time and boost economic activities in both states.
The expressway, spanning 700 kilometers, will connect nine districts in Karnataka to three districts in Maharashtra, providing a much-needed boost to the regions’ infrastructure and connectivity.
The expressway will connect several districts in Karnataka, including Bengaluru Rural, Tumkur, Chitradurga, Davangere, Vijayanagar, Koppal, Gadag, Bagalkot, and Belgaum, to Sangli, Satara, and Pune in Maharashtra.
This massive 8-lane highway will be built with a total budget exceeding Rs 50,000 crore, making it one of the most significant infrastructure projects in recent years.
One of the key benefits of the Pune-Bengaluru Expressway is the reduction in travel time.
Currently, the journey between the two cities takes around 15 hours, but the expressway will cut this down to just 7 hours.
The NHAI has stated that vehicles will be allowed to travel at a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour, significantly enhancing travel efficiency and convenience for residents and travelers alike.
Officials from the NHAI are currently preparing a detailed project report (DPR) for the project.
Once the DPR is completed, the process of land acquisition will begin.
The expressway will feature several flyovers, overbridges, and interchanges to ensure smooth and efficient traffic flow.
The NHAI aims to start construction on the Pune-Bengaluru Expressway shortly and complete the project by 2028.
The project is anticipated to boost economic growth in the region, particularly in the real estate sector.
Improved connectivity and infrastructure will attract more investments, leading to the development of new residential and commercial areas.
The Pune-Bengaluru Expressway is also likely to be constructed along the route of the second airport in Bengaluru, further enhancing the connectivity and economic potential of the region.
Although the full plan has not been disclosed yet, the project promises to bring significant changes and benefits to the people and businesses in both states.
The NHAI's initiative is a significant step towards modernizing India's transport infrastructure and promoting economic development in key regions.
The Pune-Bengaluru Expressway is not just a road; it is a catalyst for growth, innovation, and connectivity.
