PUNE: The project includes a three-month design phase followed by 15 months of post-tender activities.

As per the PMRDA, there is traffic congestion at 17 key junctions across different talukas in the Pune Metropolitan Region (PMR). Three junctions in Maval taluka, four in Mulshi taluka, three in Shirur taluka, and seven in Haveli taluka are experiencing significant traffic congestion.

The PMRDA has issued a request for proposal (RFP) to develop the "Traffic Congestion Mitigation Plan", targeting 17 key junctions in the PMR, encompassing areas around PMC and PCMC in the last week of January this year. Interested agencies are invited to submit their proposals by Monday, February 3, 2025. The project is structured over an 18-month period, divided into two phases: a three-month study and reporting phase, followed by a 15-month implementation phase to execute the proposed improvements aimed at enhancing traffic flow at identified junctions.
