850m Flyover, 520m Grade Separator and Two More Structures, PWD’s Comprehensive Rs 227 Crore Hinjawadi Traffic Plan
The Public Works Department PWD has prepared a Rs 227 crore plan for three flyovers and a grade separator to ease chronic traffic congestion around Hinjawadi after more than three years of delay during which multiple departments passed responsibility for the Laxmi Chowk flyover without action. The plan includes an 850 metre flyover and a 520 metre grade separator at Laxmi Chowk, a 590 metre four-lane flyover connecting Laxmi Chowk and Bhumkar Chowk at Vinodenagar Chowk and a 740 metre four-lane flyover connecting Laxmi Chowk to Marunji near Gurukrupa Hospital Chowk. PWD superintendent engineer confirmed a proposal has been sent to the state government for approval with the next steps to be decided after approval and fund allocation. The original plan was for a single Laxmi Chowk flyover but additional structures were included to provide a comprehensive traffic flow solution for the entire Hinjawadi corridor.
IT professionals and activists welcomed the plan but raised concerns over the unclear timeline for actual construction given years of delays already experienced. An activist said the Laxmi Chowk flyover is urgently needed but the commencement date remains uncertain. The development comes after Chief Minister announced a Rs 426 crore infrastructure package for the IT park and PMRDA drew up a last-mile Metro connectivity plan for Hinjawadi. For thousands of IT employees, residents and businesses losing productive hours daily at congested junctions, the PWD proposal is encouraging but only actual construction will prove meaningful.
