The project has been approved to be included in the 2022-2023 budget for ₹102 crore. The project will be completed in three years.”
Sharing details about the project, Shinde said, “Gangadham chowk connects Market Yard, Aai mata mandir via Katraj Kondhwa road and Bibvewadi Lullanagar road, which creates traffic congestion. To reduce traffic chaos, we have planned a flyover- 500 metres in length and 16 metres in width on Bibvewadi-Kondhwa road; a grade separator of 700 metres constructed between Aai mata mandir and Market Yard and a 90 metres bypass road as a cross link to connect Aai mata mandir to Bibvewadi.
