Service Roads and Land Acquisition Fast-tracked to Ease Navale Bridge Congestion

Authorities have stepped up efforts to tackle congestion at Navale bridge, with the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) directing swift action on land acquisition, utility shifting, and signal installation.

At a review meeting, officials from PMRDA, the district collectorate, and Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) finalised plans to build 12-metre-wide service roads on both sides of the bridge. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has proposed acquiring 7,384 sq m of land over a 615-metre stretch, with the collectorate tasked to complete the process within three months.

To avoid delays, PMRDA will fund the shifting of underground electricity cables belonging to MSEDCL, while the relocation of two major PMC water pipelines has been ordered within 15 days. Authorities also agreed to immediately install traffic signals to regulate vehicular movement.

“The works will address long-standing congestion at Navale bridge. Once complete, daily commuters and residents will see major relief from traffic jams,” said Jitendra Dudi, Pune district collector.

The review meeting was attended by metropolitan commissioner Yogesh Mhase, additional metropolitan commissioner Deepak Singla, chief engineer Rinaz Pathan, additional commissioner Himmat Kharade, and senior representatives of PMRDA, NHAI, PMC, and the public works department.
