Pune: In a major relief to commuters, the Pune City Traffic Police Department has announced the resumption of two-way traffic on Ganeshkhind Road, specifically from Savitribai Phule Pune University Chowk to India Meteorological Department (IMD / Simla Office) Chowk, starting Thursday, March 20. The decision was taken to address the traffic congestion caused by an earlier diversion due to ongoing bridge construction work by Metro.

Background: Traffic Diversion and Its Impact

Since November 26, 2024, traffic had been rerouted via ABIL Corner – Symphony Circle – N.T. Wadi to prevent congestion and ensure road safety. However, this diversion significantly increased travel distance and time for daily commuters.
