Traffic overhaul in Kolhapur with plans of three new flyovers
Kolhapur: Kolhapur city has submitted proposals to the central government for the construction of three new flyover bridges.
The move is aimed at significantly reducing traffic congestion within the city and along the Pune-Bengaluru NH 48, which passes through it.
Kolhapur district collector Amol Yedge recently informed about the submission of these crucial proposals.
The proposed flyovers include a connection from Sangli Phata (Shiroli Phata) to Uchagaon, and another from Tawade Hotel to Shivaji Bridge.
Additionally, a branch from the Tawade Hotel to Shivaji Bridge will be constructed, extending specifically from Dabholkar Corner to the Pach Bangla area of Shahupuri.
This particular branch is designed to bypass the traffic currently moving through the Parikh Bridge railway underpass, which acts as a vital link between the Central Bus Stand and the Shahupuri area of the city.
Should these proposals receive approval, the construction of these bridges would mark a major infrastructure overhaul for Kolhapur. This would be the most significant development since the integrated road development project carried out around one-and-a-half decades ago.

That previous project involved widening 49 kilometers of roads within the city and the construction of Kolhapur's first flyover bridge along the old Pune-Bengaluru national highway that traverses the city.
A private company was roped in by the National Highways Authority of India's (NHAI) Kolhapur division to draft the design and estimate the cost. According to the plan, Tawade Hotel to Shivaji Bridge flyover will be around 10 kilometres, Sangli Phata to Uchgaon will be four kilometres, and Dabholkar Corner to Shahupuri will be two kilometres.
