Commuters on Sinhagad Road can expect some relief soon, as the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is preparing to open the remaining stretch of the flyover.
Two parts of the project, the 520-metre flyover at Rajaram Chowk and the 2,120-metre stretch from Vitthalwadi to Fun Time Cinema, have already been opened to the public. While work on the last leg, a 1,540-metre stretch between Goyalganga Chowk and Inamdar Chowk, is in its final stage.

Streetlights are also being installed to ensure proper lighting on the flyover. The transport department has suggested a few changes at Inamdar Chowk, Rajaram Chowk, and Matoshree Chowk to smooth traffic flow once the bridge is opened.
Though the ongoing rains have slowed down the work, the civic officials have said efforts are being made to complete the pending tasks quickly and open the flyover for use at the earliest.

The flyover project will also help vehicles skip 5 traffic signals while travelling from Vithalwadi to Funtime theatre along the Sinhagad road. The other lane of the flyover will help avoid traffic signals at Bramha hotel, Anandnagar and Hingne Khurd.
