Navale bridge accident highlights traffic management, infrastructure woes on Katraj Dehu Road bypass
Sunday’s accident on Navale Bridge has once again brought to light multiple issues related to traffic management, enforcement and infrastructure on the Katraj Dehu Road bypass of the Mumbai Bengaluru Highway in Pune to which no concrete solution seems to be in sight.
As many as 25 persons were injured when a truck hit at least 48 vehicles of which 24 were heavily damaged in Pune’s Navale Bridge area on Sunday night.
The 36-kilometre bypass road that facilitates passage of Mumbai-Bengaluru national highway traffic from the periphery of Pune city, is marred by multiple issues related to traffic management, enforcement and infrastructure, according to people in the know of the matter.
