The expressway will be an 8-lane corridor designed to ensure seamless traffic movement. It will serve as an alternative to NH-48, offering significantly faster connectivity between Pune and Bengaluru. Once completed, the travel time between the two cities will be drastically reduced from the current 15 hours to just 7 hours, with vehicles permitted to travel at speeds of up to 120 km/h.
The project will feature six Road Over Bridges (ROBs), 22 interchanges, 55 flyovers, and 14 crossings over national and state highways. This extensive network of infrastructure will traverse underdeveloped areas in Karnataka and drought-prone regions of Maharashtra, enhancing regional connectivity and boosting trade and economic opportunities for local communities.
Moreover, the Delhi-Mumbai expressway, another significant project in the region, will complement the Pune-Bengaluru Expressway by making previously distant locations more accessible for residential development. The commercial and industrial growth along these expressways will likely drive the real estate sector in tier-2 and tier-3 cities like Alwar (Rajasthan), Kota (Rajasthan), Ratlam (Madhya Pradesh), Vadodara (Gujarat), and Surat (Gujarat). These cities are expected to witness a rise in demand for affordable housing, as per a 99 acres report.
The Pune Ring Road project, which is part of the larger infrastructure development plan, is also expected to have a significant impact on the real estate sector. The improved connectivity and accessibility will attract more residential and commercial developments, further boosting the local economy and creating new opportunities for growth and investment.
In conclusion, the Pune-Bengaluru Expressway, along with other major infrastructure projects, will not only enhance connectivity and reduce travel time but also stimulate economic growth and development in the regions it traverses. The project is a testament to the government's commitment to improving infrastructure and fostering sustainable development.
