Nashik's Dwarka junction to be developed like Kalamboli junction
The Kalamboli junction in Navi Mumbai is currently being upgraded jointly by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) and the Maharashtra State Infrastructure Development Corporation (MSIDC). The project entails constructing eight flyover arms and two underpasses to streamline traffic flow.
The decision on Dwarka junction was made at a meeting in Nagpur chaired by chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union minister Nitin Gadkari.
The meeting also resolved to widen and strengthen all roads leading to Nashik in anticipation of increased traffic during the Kumbh Mela. MLA Devynani Pharande, representatives from NHAI, and MSIDC attended the Nagpur meeting focused on infrastructure works in Nashik ahead of the Kumbh Mela.
Pharande said, "The project will be completed in two phases by MSIDC. The corporation will conduct a survey and prepare a detailed project report.

Some works will be undertaken before the Kumbh Mela and others after it. Nonetheless, the project will receive approval before the Kumbh Mela once the DPR is submitted."
Traffic congestion has been a long-standing issue at the Dwarka junction despite existing flyovers, subways, and twin service roads along the main carriageway. The junction handles traffic from Mumbai, Dhule, and Pune directions. In addition to the junction's three arms, two roads lead towards Shalimar and the old city.
Recently, a decades-old traffic island at the junction was removed.
Senior officials of NHAI said considering the expected crowds and transportation demands in Nashik due to the upcoming Kumbh Mela, the development of several major roads has been approved in principle. A detailed project report will be prepared, and funding will be allocated shortly. Nashik experiences traffic from Mumbai, Dhule, Gujarat, Palghar, Pune, and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar areas.
The influx of devotees from these routes is significant during the Kumbh Mela.
In addition to strengthening and widening these roads, connecting roads will also be enhanced.
Union minister Gadkari has, in principle, approved works on nearly all roads, with funds to be allocated soon. The Nashik-Trimbak Road will be expanded from a four-lane to a six-lane road.

Seamless administrative support to industries can help overcome global economic challenges: Fadnavis
Speaking at a two-day administrative conference at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Nagpur, Fadnavis on Saturday said, 'If we provide seamless administrative support to our industries, we can overcome any international economic challenge.' He said that the state government will soon implement key reforms aimed at providing citizens with efficient and responsive governance. The United States on Friday slapped a 25 per cent tariff on India, potentially impacting about half of the USD 86 billion Indian exports to America. Nagpur, Aug 3 (PTI) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has expressed confidence about overcoming global trade barriers, including the 25 per cent tariff imposed by the United States, saying seamless administrative support to industries can help deal with international economic challenges. Six committees comprising divisional commissioners and senior officers have submitted reform-oriented recommendations following extensive deliberations held earlier this year, he said. 'These committees have identified essential changes required in the administrative machinery. The recommendations, backed by detailed analysis and draft government resolutions, will be implemented immediately to enhance the delivery of public services,' he said. Fadnavis also assured that recruitment for appointments on compassionate grounds will be completed in 150 days, and no such post will remain vacant. He emphasised the need to revamp the District Annual Planning system, pointing out that it should not merely serve as an employment scheme but should become a tool for large-scale job creation and development. 'District collectors have been recommended to be empowered to allocate up to five per cent of the total plan fund for local developmental works under their jurisdiction,' he said.

Andhra will overtake America in road connectivity in two years: Union Min Gadkari
VIJAYAWADA: Stating that road connectivity and standards in Andhra Pradesh will surpass that of in America within two years, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has sanctioned new road projects worth Rs 27,000 crore for AP, assuring that the Centre is committed to providing all the necessary support to the State. He along with Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and others, laid the foundation stone for 27 new roads taken up at a cost of Rs 5,233 crore at a programme held at CK Convention in Mangalagiri on Saturday, and gave his in principle nod to several new projects worth around Rs 1 lakh crore. Also, the Union Minister dedicated two completed road projects - widening of Madanapalle to Pileru and Kurnool to Mandlem - to the nation on the occasion. Gadkari said the foundation stone for 27 new projects was aimed at enhancing road connectivity across Andhra Pradesh, and asserted that it will improve access to pilgrim centres like Tirupati, Srisailam, and Kadiri, and tourist destinations such as Horsley Hills and Vodarevu Beach, seamless links to economic hubs Sri City, Krishnapatnam Port and Tirupati Airport. Aligned with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, these projects are designed to avoid accident-prone black spots, and railway crossings, reduce transportation costs, strengthen last-mile connectivity in rural and tribal areas, and decongest key urban centres thereby positioning Andhra Pradesh at the forefront of India's growth story, the Union Minister said.
