Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) expects four to five bridge, flyover and connectivity projects to be completed by December 2026 and open in 2027; one additional bridge is scheduled for completion in March 2027. Projects include:

• The new Sadhu Vaswani Bridge, connecting the Cantonment with Koregaon Park, Yerawada and Nagar Road. Work began under a May 2023 order, gathered pace in June 2024, and is expected to finish in December 2026, with opening in January 2027.
• A ramp connecting the Pashan–Sus flyover to the Bengaluru Highway (NH-48) service road, improving access from Pashan and Sus towards Mumbai and Chandni Chowk; it is expected to open in 2027 after remaining work is completed.
• The Karvenagar–Sun City Bridge over the Mutha River, intended to connect Karvenagar and Sinhagad Road and ease congestion on Narveer Tanaji Malusare Road. The Karvenagar-side road is complete; the Sun City approach is under construction, with opening expected in January 2027.
• The Ghorpadi flyover over the Miraj railway line is about 90% complete. Asphalting, painting, utility shifting and traffic signs are due by October or November 2026; opening is expected in January 2027. It will serve travel between Ghorpadi, Mundhwa, Koregaon Park, Kharadi, the Cantonment and Pune Railway Station.

Pune municipal commissioner Naval Kishore Ram reviewed development works in the Yerawada ward office area.

Initial barricading set up ahead of Ramwadi Metro station towards Wagholi on Nagar Road for geotechnical and soil surveys. Metro work includes construction of six-lane elevated road with Metro viaduct above in double-decker structure.

Phase I covers 4.7 km from Ramwadi to Tuljabhavani Chowk with four stations: Vimannagar, Somnathnagar, Kharadi Bypass, Tuljabhavani Chowk. Maha Metro initiated bidding four months ago to appoint construction agency. Geotechnical surveys and soil testing to commence in next few days, followed by actual construction. Majority of 4.7 km viaduct aligned above existing Nagar Road. Currently Metro trains operate to Ramwadi station; extension begins ahead of that. Commuters urged better traffic management plan due to existing congestion issues, wrong-way driving from Yerwada to Wagholi, bottlenecks near junctions and U-turns. Metro, traffic police and PMC conducted joint inspections of entire stretch.

Pune Municipal Corporation’s Standing Committee approved approximately ₹2 crore in additional spending, including GST, to modify the pipeline-shifting work for Sadhu Vaswani Bridge. Committee Chairman Srinath Bhimale said the original plan to lay a replacement pipeline by the jack-and-push method was changed to micro-tunnelling after workers encountered hard rock.

An old RCC duct, believed to date to around 1905, then halted work when railway authorities refused permission to dismantle it. The revised plan is to install an 800 mm mild-steel pipeline through the duct, removing the existing 600 mm pipeline inside it. Railway authorities have given in-principle approval; written permission is expected.

The existing 1,000 mm pipeline beneath the railway tracks supplies Yerawda, Kalyani Nagar, Gandhi Nagar and Jail Road. The extra work, excluded from the original tender, will be handled by existing contractor R.B. Krishnani at 0.1% below its quoted cost. Funding comes from the “Integrated Traffic Plan from Sadhu Vaswani Bridge to Bund Garden Bridge” budget head. The change is intended to prevent further bridge delays and ensure railway safety.
