Traffic Update: Two-way traffic resumed near Pune University Chowk
Commuters Fume As Travel Time Doubles on Shimla Office Chowk-Pune Railway Station Stretch
An alternative route connecting Range Hills and Sakhar Sankul was recently opened to vehicular traffic. This move comes after Savitribai Phule Pune University Road had been closed for several months to facilitate Metro construction work. With the new road now operational, two-way traffic has resumed near University Chowk.
Despite this development, it appears that the road passing through Agriculture College will continue to be used as an alternative route. This decision is aimed at reducing congestion in the area. The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and traffic police are closely monitoring traffic patterns on University Road and other nearby stretches.
Officials from PMC and the traffic police are expected to evaluate the traffic movement in the coming weeks. Their goal is to determine the most efficient traffic flow and manage congestion effectively. The temporary use of the Agriculture College route is part of this strategy to ensure smooth traffic conditions while adjustments are made.
Residents and commuters are advised to stay updated on traffic advisories as the situation evolves. The PMC and traffic authorities will provide further information as they finalize the ideal traffic management plan for the area.
For now, drivers should expect some changes in traffic patterns and plan their routes accordingly. The adjustments are part of ongoing efforts to enhance road safety and efficiency in Pune.
