These missing links will connect key points in neighbourhoods such as Kothrud, Baner–Pashan, Kondhwa, Nagar Road, Kharadi, Mundhwa–Hadapsar, Sinhagad Road, and Satara Road. For example, new routes will link Eklavya College to Sutarwadi Bus Depot, Chaudhary Vasti to Fun Time Road, and Manik Baug to Sun City in Kothrud–Karvenagar.

Other connections include Baner to Pashan Link Road, VIT College to Kondhwa Road, and Kalyaninagar to Kharadi along the riverside.

The PMC stated that the development will also cover busy areas like Baner–Pashan, Nagar Road, Kondhwa, and Hadapsar, creating alternate routes and reducing bottlenecks at major junctions. By bridging these missing links, officials believe traffic flow will improve significantly, cutting travel time for daily commuters and easing pressure on main roads.
