Pune traffic police, on Friday, closed the ‘Z’ bridge, that connects Jungli Maharaj road to Sadashiv peth across the river for any pedestrian movement.
Cars will not be able to access the bridge due to a temporary bamboo barricade constructed and the Puneri habit of stopping a two-wheeler on the bridge just to hang out, will not be allowed.
The Pune Metro work is the reason for the shutdown and signs have been put up at both ends of the bridge, and also on the Deccan Gymkhana roadside.
“The metro work is going on in full swing and although all safety arrangements are in place, it is still risky for the public to halt and stand below an area that is under construction.
