“It affected this project with a very low response for the tendering process. Now the standing committee has approved Rs135 crore for this project. It will get spent in the next three years.”

The proposed flyover is between Rajaram bridge and the Funtime cinema. As traffic on Sinhgad road has increased, with no alternative road, the PMC had approved this flyover in 2018-19.

The standing committee has asked the administration to execute the tendering process and complete it in next three years.
