To mitigate inconvenience caused by the closure, alternative routes have been suggested for travelers. Those heading towards Pune are encouraged to take the Rajewadi Phata-Mangaon-Nizampur Road-Tamhani Ghat-Mulshi Pirangut Pune route. Similarly, travelers bound for Kolhapur can opt for the Rajewadi Phata-Poladpur-Khed-Chiplun-Patan-Karad-Kolhapur route.
The temporary closure of Varandha Ghat Road aligns with the administration’s commitment to infrastructural development and road safety, aiming to enhance connectivity and ensure smoother travel experiences for commuters in the future.
