The Pune Traffic police cautioned citizens to brace for further traffic jams at the Pune University junction and connecting roads in the coming days owing to work on the next phase of Pune Metro and announced additional traffic diversions Saturday (February 4) night.
Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) in 2020 demolished the old flyovers — one at the Pune University junction and one in front of E-Square theatre — after the PMRDA and Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) jointly decided to construct a two-storey flyover with the top floor for an elevated metro rail corridor to connect Hinjewadi to Shivajinagar and the first floor for vehicular traffic.
