Get ready, Pune! Major traffic changes are on the horizon for the Deccan Gymkhana area as the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) gears up for a significant project – laying a rain channel connecting the PMPML bus stand and Bhide Bridge. Commencing on October 16 and scheduled to continue until December 15, this endeavor might lead to road closures that will affect daily commuters and local residents.
Traffic Diversions Ahead
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Vijay Kumar Magar, has advised that the stretch of road from Bhide Bridge to the Deccan area may be temporarily closed as the project progresses. Motorists are urged to explore alternative routes to minimize the impact on the city’s traffic network.
Gadgil Bridge as an Alternative
For those heading towards Deccan via Kelkar Road, it’s recommended to consider Gadgil Bridge (Z bridge) as an alternate route, whenever feasible.
Project Commencement and Duration
The construction project is scheduled to commence on October 16, with a target completion date of December 15. During this two-month period, commuters and residents in the affected areas are strongly encouraged to plan their journeys in advance and utilize alternative routes to avert potential delays.
Balancing Progress and Commute
While this project signifies an important milestone in infrastructure development, focusing on enhanced rainwater management, its immediate impact calls for efficient traffic management and public cooperation to ensure that daily operations continue smoothly.
Pune’s Deccan Gymkhana area, renowned for its cultural vibrancy and historical significance, is about to embark on an infrastructure journey that promises long-term benefits. As with any substantial undertaking, the short-term inconveniences will pave the way for lasting improvements. Stay tuned for further updates and stay informed to navigate this transition seamlessly.
