Pune's Kharadi-Keshavnagar Bridge Expected to Open by August 15
The Kharadi-Keshavnagar bridge over Pune's Mula-Mutha River is expected to open to vehicular traffic by August 15, pending completion of a 700-meter approach road. Built by the Pune Municipal Corporation on a public-private partnership basis at a cost of approximately Rs 23.20 crore, the bridge aims to ease heavy congestion in eastern Pune areas including Kharadi, Mundhwa, and Hadapsar. While the main bridge and traffic infrastructure are complete, final roadworks such as footpath construction and asphalting remain underway.
