Railway under bridge at Akurdi station inaugurated PUNE:
Travel from Nigdi to Ravet will become easier for thousands of people as the second railway under bridge (RUB) near Akurdi railway station has been inaugurated.
Anil Suryavanshi, executive engineer, PCNTDA said, "The length of subways is 47 meter. The width is 8.58 meter and the height is 4.78 meter. The first new subway was inaugurated in February 2014 which reduced the vehicular congestion on approach roads of the old subway. The second subway was inaugurated by district guardian minister Girish Bapat last week."
Earlier, residents of newly developing areas of Ravet, Walhekarwadi, Kiwale and parts of Akurdi crossed the railway tracks through a water logged subway to go to Nigdi-Pradhikaran, Pune-Mumbai highway and other areas. There was a demand from residents of Akurdi, Ravet and Nigdi that a modern wide subway be constructed. The Pimpri Chinchwad New Township Development Authority (PCNTDA) invited bids for the construction of new subway in March 2010 at cost of Rs 8.1 crore.
PCNTDA had planned to construct two separate subways using push box technology for light vehicles and two-wheelers, namely one for going from Nigdi to Ravet and other for coming from Ravet to Nigdi. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/Railway-under-bridge-at-Akurdi-station-inaugurated/articleshow/48759306.cms http://m.timesofindia.com/city/pune/PCMC-changes-design-of-Ravet-ROB/articleshow/48460805.cms
PCMC changes design of Ravet ROB PUNE:
The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation has changed the design of its railway overbridge (ROB) at Ravet due to expansion of tracks on the Pune-Lonavla section. A third track is being planned on Pune-Lonavla stretch. On July 8, the railway authorities sent a letter to the civic body asking it to shell out Rs 26.51 lakh extra before change in overbridge design is approved.
As per the resolution, the civic body plans to develop a 45-metre wide bus rapid transit system (BRTS) route from Bhakti Shakti Chowk in Nigdi to Mukai Chowk in Kiwale with Pune-Lonavla railway track crossing it at Nisarga Darshan Society. The PCMC sought to construct a railway overbridge at this spot for providing easy passage of vehicles. We have just the right project for you Arun BLU
