• Motorists coming from Aundh and heading towards Shivajinagar will now have to take a left turn at the Chatuhshrungi police station
• Enter the Millennium Gate of Pune University
• Take right turn to exit from the main entrance gate of Pune University
• Get on Ganeshkhind road towards Shivajinagar

Pune University to Shivajinagar

• Take right turn before E Square flyover starts and proceed till Shree Seva Indian Oil Petrol Pump
• Turn left just where the flyover ends in front of RBI Agricultural Banking College
