In this informative video, we delve into the exciting development plans for Pune Airport, which involve a significant extension of the runway from 8,333 feet to an impressive 10,000 feet. This expansion is set to transform the airport and enhance its capabilities in multiple ways.
One of the key highlights of this project is the construction of a new road connecting Lohegaon, Dhanori, and several other areas, making it more accessible for residents and travelers. The road will involve taking a left turn from Weikfield Chowk, traveling approximately 100 meters, and then taking another left turn, which will lead directly to Lohegaon village and the AFS main gate. Additionally, this road will connect to Kalwad Wasti, benefiting the entire region.
The collaboration between Pune Air Force Station (AFS) and Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is crucial for this road's development. AFS has proposed leasing 9.6 acres of defense land to PMC for this project, with an estimated cost of 43 crore based on the ready reckoner rates.
The extended runway will accommodate a broader range of aircraft, including widebody planes like the Airbus A340 and Boeing 747, potentially increasing both domestic and international flight frequencies. Safety measures will also be bolstered with the construction of a 10-foot security perimeter wall around the AFS premises.
Notably, this project will provide an alternate route for residents of Munjaba Wasti, Dhanori, and those traveling to Vishrantwadi, offering a much-needed solution to traffic congestion. The new road will be wider (24 meters or 80 feet), featuring double lanes and a divider, facilitating smoother traffic flow.
The improved connectivity will not only ease congestion in Lohegaon but also open up development opportunities in the region, benefiting new and existing residents alike.
