Pune-Nashik Road
This road connects the two big cities of Nashik and Pune.The Pune-Nashik National Highway (NH-50) starts at a very busy intersection near Pimpri called the Nashik Phata, and is just off the Pune-Mumbai National Highway (NH-4). This road is very famous for the thick green cover of trees planted evenly along both sides of the road by the PCMC. It lies like a canopy over the road while it passes through the PCMC city limits. The proposed New Pune International Airport is to be constructed around the area between Chakan and Rajgurunagar on this road, which is an area 40 km away from Pune city. Nashik is around 225 km from Pune city. One can get buses for Nasik from Shivajinagar ST Bus stand. Sangamner and Narayangaon are the important stops on the way towards Nashik. Recently this highway is widened from Nashik Phata till Rajgurunagar (45 km) so that journey becomes faster.This Road is proposed and is being made a express highway.Flights from Nashik city would possibly land at International Airport.

Famous quotes containing the word road:
“Let the torpid Monk seek heaven comfortless and alone—GOD speed him! For my own part, I fear, I should never so find the way: let me be wise and religious—but let me be MAN: wherever thy Providence places me, or whatever be the road I take to get to thee—give me some companion in my journey, be it only to remark to, How our shadows lengthen as the sun goes down.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
