To solve the traffic issues on the Sinhagad road, which are set to worsen as work on a flyover progresses, Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is pushing for an alternative route to the central areas of the city.
Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari recently laid the foundation stone of the flyover from Rajaram bridge to Fun Time multiplex. The union minister has even urged PMC to rework on the flyover by making it in a double-decker model to carry more vehicles.
A few citizens have protested the construction of the flyover as it would create hurdles for vehicles plying on the existing road, which is the only connecting route to the central areas of the city.
