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:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
