The expressway will pass through multiple districts in Karnataka, including Bengaluru Rural, Tumkur, Chitradurga, Davangere, Vijayanagar, Koppal, Gadag, Bagalkot, and Belgaum. Additionally, it will cover three districts in Maharashtra: Sangli, Satara, and Pune. Construction is currently underway, and the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2028, as reported by 99 acres.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has stated that the expressway will serve as an alternative to NH-48, providing a more convenient and faster route for travelers. Vehicles will be allowed to travel at a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour, further enhancing travel efficiency. The residents of these districts have been demanding the expressway for many years, and its completion is expected to meet their long-standing needs.
The project is anticipated to have a significant impact on the economic growth of the regions it serves. Improved connectivity and infrastructure will provide a major boost to the real estate sector, attracting more investments and development. Although the NHAI has not disclosed the full plan yet, the expressway is likely to be constructed along the second airport of Bengaluru, further enhancing its strategic importance.
Apart from the Pune-Bengaluru Expressway, the central government is also planning similar projects to improve connectivity across the country. These initiatives aim to enhance the overall infrastructure and boost economic activities in various regions. The completion of the Pune-Bengaluru Expressway by 2028 is a significant step towards achieving these goals and transforming the travel experience for millions of people.
The expressway project is not just a transportation initiative but a comprehensive development plan that will have far-reaching benefits. It will not only reduce travel time and improve connectivity but also stimulate economic activities and create new opportunities for growth. The residents and businesses in the affected districts are eagerly awaiting the completion of this project, which is expected to bring about a significant transformation in the region.
