The subway has been constructed under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) and has cost Rs 7.26 crore. The subway measures 41 metres long, 23.5 metres wide and 5.5 metres high. This has facilitated the vehicles to cross the national highway without dangerously posing any obstacle to the highway traffic.

The construction has been done in compliance with the Indian Roads Congress (IRC) standards, which means that even large and heavy vehicles like a double-decker bus or big trailer can easily pass through it. Addressing the mediapersons on Monday night, during the site visit, Municipal Commissioner Praveensinh Pardeshi lauded the efforts put in by the civic departments. "All the civic departments -- land acquisition, electricity and garden -- worked in sync with each other. Therefore, the work could be finished in time," Pardeshi said.

PMC city engineer Prashant Waghmare said that the PMC has completed the task in about seven months. "The work order was given in February. Though the work had been given to a contractor, we employed additional labourers in the final phase of the subway. The contractor's labourers were 450, while the labourers from the private developers were about 1,000. We had to employ machinery on a large scale. There were 40 JCB machines and 15 transit mixers."
