Pune Plans Green Mobility Corridor Along Canal Route After Tunnel Project
Pune is set to transform the 33-km Mutha Right Bank Canal corridor into a green mobility corridor following the Khadakwasla-Phursungi underground tunnel project, which will replace the open canal to reduce water loss. Pune Municipal Corporation aims to develop this continuous urban stretch for non-motorised transport like cycling and walking, and possibly a tram system, enhancing east-west connectivity. Discussions involving the irrigation department and state officials are ongoing to secure the land and plan comprehensive development.
