Pune Metro authority initiates Alternate Road Construction

16 Feb 2024 CW Team

Following the completion of the Ganeshkhind Road widening project, PMRDA has initiated the construction of a multi-level flyover. The city traffic police have implemented a diversion plan for the area around the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) campus in light of this development, effective since last Saturday.

Despite the Agriculture College administration refusing the use of its internal roads for traffic diversion on Ganeshkhind Road, PMRDA has proposed an alternative route for commuters bound for Aundh.

The regional development authority is currently building a distinct 7-meter road catering to two, three, and four-wheelers. This road traverses the Pune Metro compound and the Agriculture College area.

Rinaj Pathan, the chief superintendent engineer of PMRDA, stated, "PMRDA is constructing this road to alleviate congestion on the Ganeshkhind Road stretch. We are making efforts to complete the work as soon as possible to provide commuters with an alternative route to Aundh. However, it is anticipated to take approximately one and a half months to finish the road."

According to the proposed diversion plan, commuters traveling from Shivajinagar to Aundh or Hinjewadi will be required to take the route from the Agriculture College's Wakadewadi gate to the Range Hill metro depot, situated alongside the Pune Metro line, leading to the nearby Range Hills underpass. The objective is to alleviate congestion for commuters heading to Range Hills, Bopodi, and Khadki.

In response to congestion issues, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar instructed officials from the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), Agricultural College, and PMRDA to collaborate on finding solutions. Following this directive, PMRDA finalised the alternate route last week.

Construction has commenced on an alternative road within the Agriculture College campus, previously designated as the Pune Metro depot, by the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA). However, commuters will have to wait for a month and a half before the road becomes accessible.
