Pune : Khadki Bazaar Road to Reopen for Two-Way Traffic, Relief for Commuters Expected

In response to requests from commuters, Khadki Bazaar road towards Harris Bridge is set to reopen for two-way traffic within a week. Currently, vehicles can only move in one direction, from the bridge to Khadki.

The decision follows assessments of traffic conditions and ongoing Metro works conducted by Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) officials on Monday. An official from the civic body’s road department stated, “Pune Metro works were ongoing in the area and nearing completion. We had asked MahaMetro for road repairs in this vicinity. We will propose to the traffic police the possibility of allowing two-way traffic for bikes and cars. Heavy vehicles will be permitted later.”

Moreover, PMC’s road department is devising plans to enable two-way flow on the old Mumbai-Pune highway road near Khadki police station to enhance traffic management further. Officials have already implemented two-way traffic in some sections, resulting in smoother operations.

“We understand the inconvenience faced by commuters, and we aim to alleviate it as much as possible,” said a PMC official. Commuters are hopeful that the reopening of Khadki Bazaar Road will ease their daily travels.
