Pune Municipal Corporation Plans Tunnel Road from Shaniwarwada to Saras Baug to Ease Traffic
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has initiated plans to construct a four-lane tunnel road from Shaniwarwada to Saras Baug to alleviate traffic congestion on Bajirao and Shivaji roads. A consultant will be appointed to prepare a project report and assess the tunnel's impact. This initiative follows Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis's call for an underground tunnel network to address Pune's limited road space. Additional tunnels are planned across the city by PMC and Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority to improve traffic flow.
