In response to numerous complaints from commuters and transport operators, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has launched extensive overlaying work on the Pune-Solapur national highway. This initiative, divided into two phases—Pune to Indapur and Indapur to Solapur—is scheduled for completion by June 26. The project utilizes dense bituminous macadam (DBM) technology to lay a new surface layer, enhancing the road's durability and overall quality rather than merely filling potholes.

The upgrades aim to improve travel speed, safety, and reduce the risk of accidents caused by potholes and uneven surfaces. Commuters have expressed frustration over the highway's deteriorating condition, particularly as the monsoon season approaches, which exacerbates traffic issues.
