Work on Sinnar Phata stretch of the Nashik-Pune highway is expected to be completed within a fortnight.
The work on the 2.5 km stretch was sluggish for the past three years. However, the work has now picked up momentum and commuters can see that the road being thrown open any time now.
The road widening of the Nashik-Pune highway from Nashik Road to Sinnar was taken up in 2015. While the entire highway was widened and came under use by 2017, this 2.5 km stretch of Sinnar Phata near Nashik Road remained untouched.
The work on this section was finally taken up in early 2019.
