Double-Decker Flyover Construction At Pune University Chowk On Track, Expected Completion By Year-End
Date:5/July/2024.
The double-decker flyover from Savitribai Phule Pune University Chowk to E-square junction for the third Metro line sounds like a significant infrastructure project. It has the potential to improve traffic flow and connectivity in the area once completed. The use of a double-decker design can help optimize space and traffic management on busy routes.
The new 1.7 km double-decker flyover from Savitribai Phule Pune University Chowk to E-square junction for the third Metro line is expected to be finished by the end of November or December, according to the agreement with the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) Commissioner Yogesh Mhase. Mhase oversaw the progress of the third Metro line on Wednesday, with the project timelines discussed at a recent meeting led by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. Mhase assured that the agreed timelines will be met, stating that monitoring is ongoing to ensure adherence to the schedule. The project, managed by PMRDA through Pune IT City Metro Rail Limited, is being carried out under a public private partnership (PPP) model. Chief engineer Rinaj Pathan mentioned the deployment of two additional launching girders at the SSPU flyover to accelerate the construction work, including the ramp work.
The construction work is progressing on Ganeshkhind Road at E-square and on Aundh Road. They have started the work, and some parts like the RCC deck slab in one span of Aundh ramp have already been casted. Additionally, two spans on Aundh ramp and one ramp on Ganeshkhind Road are set to be casted this week.
It’s unfortunate that commuters are facing traffic congestion in the mornings and evenings. Reema Kale, who travels regularly from the city to the IT hub, expressed concerns about the lack of alternative routes or arrangements when main roads are closed for construction. Despite having alternative routes, the heavy traffic in the area continues to cause inconvenience to commuters.
