A big traffic jam happened on Pune’s Sinhagad Road today because of repair work on the Rajaram Bridge. Cars and buses were stuck in a long line that went on for 6 kilometers. This problem started during the busy morning time from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., making many people late for work and school.
The Rajaram Bridge will be closed for at least one month for repairs. This has made traffic very slow on both the main Sinhagad Road and the road near the canal. The worst part was that even ambulances got stuck in the traffic, which could be dangerous for sick people who need to reach hospitals quickly.
The traffic police have told people about other roads they can take to avoid the jam. People can now go through Mhatre Bridge, Dandekar Bridge, Dattawadi, or Warje areas. The police are also thinking about opening a new flyover between Vitthalwadi and Fun Time Theater to help reduce traffic problems.
To handle this big problem, more traffic police have been put on duty at important road crossings. They’re working hard to make sure cars can move smoothly and to stop the traffic from getting worse. They’re also changing the timing of traffic signals to help cars move faster.
If you usually travel on Sinhagad Road, you should know that it will take much longer to reach your destination now. The traffic police are asking everyone to use the other routes they’ve suggested. It’s also important to start your journey early and plan your travel time carefully.
The best time to travel is before 8:00 a.m. when there are fewer vehicles on the road. The traffic police are keeping a close watch on the situation and trying their best to solve the problems. They’ll keep working on making things better during the whole month when the bridge repairs are going on.
Pune’s transportation landscape continues to evolve as the city works to improve its infrastructure and traffic management systems.
