A PWD officer confirmed that the 850m flyover at Nandur Naka will be the second structure on the Nashik-Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar highway, following the ongoing construction at the Hotel Mirchi chowk. A devastating accident occurred at this location in 2022, claiming 13 lives.
"The work for the construction of the
Nandur Naka flyover
has begun and will be completed by Oct 2026. The flyover will be a great relief for people travelling from Nashik towards Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and also for the motorists travelling from Nashik Road towards Hotel Jatra, which passes through the Nandur Naka junction across the highway," said the officer.
The junction presents a complex traffic situation where vehicles from Nashik Road merge with the Nashik-Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar highway, proceed right for 40 metres, then exit left towards Hotel Jatra on the Mumbai-Agra National Highway. This section forms part of the Nashik Municipal Corporation's ring road.
This small 'S' junction creates many problems for traffic management, with or without traffic signals.
Vehicles on the main highway face delays at both junctions, resulting in driver confusion and congestion.
"The construction of the flyover will allow the easy movement of traffic from Nashik towards Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, which has major economic centres like the agriculture produce market committee of Lasalgaon (known for onions), Niphad for grapes and other produce, and others, including a winery at Vinchur village.
On Oct 8, 2022, a Mumbai-bound travel bus collided with a crossing truck during early hours, sparking an immediate fire. Twelve people died at the scene, while another person succumbed to injuries in the hospital. Subsequently, state govt approved flyover constructions at Hotel Mirchi Chowk and Nandur Naka junction. Construction has commenced at both locations, located 2.2 km apart.

Live Events The RBI's six-member monetary policy committee, headed by Governor Sanjay Malhotra and consisting of three external members, voted five to one to lower the benchmark repurchase or repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.5 per cent. It also cut the cash reserve ratio by 100 basis points to 3 per cent, adding Rs 2.5 lakh crore to already surplus liquidity in the banking system. With the latest reduction, the RBI has now cut interest rates by a total of 100 basis points in 2025, starting with a quarter-point reduction in February -- the first cut since May 2020 -- and another similar-sized cut in April. The central bank, at the same time, changed its monetary policy stance from 'accommodative' to 'neutral', meaning rates could increase or decrease in future depending on incoming data, with Malhotra stating that it may have limited space for further easing.
