Pune: Traffic changes in University Square, connecting roads from Thursday as trial run for double storey flyover construction

The traffic through the Pune University Square and the connecting roads to Pashan, Baner and Ganeshkhind Road — which see some of heaviest traffic volumes in the city — will be changed on experimental basis from Thursday for the proposed work on integrated project to construct a double storey flyover, grade separators and underpass.

After the twin flyovers on Ganeshkhind Road — one at the Pune University junction and one in front of E-Square theater — were demolished, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) had this year approved the Rs 426 crore integrated infrastructure plan to construct a double-storey flyover along with three grade separators and an underpass to resolve the traffic issues of area, which sees very heavy traffic congestion during peak hours.
