Bengaluru: The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) officially announced that India’s busiest highway, the Pune-Bengaluru Highway, will partially remain closed for the next 11 days from 12:30 am to 3:30 am for installing girders on road works at the Chandni Chowk in Pune.
Guidelines
- All heavy trucks would be stopped for three hours on the Pune-Mumbai Motorway, Talegaon Toll Plaza, Sompatane Phata, and Old Pune-Mumbai Highway.
2. Heavy vehicles travelling from Satara to Mumbai will also be stopped near the Khed Shivapur Toll Plaza.
3. Cars and light vehicles can use the Ved Bhavan service road to continue their journey, according to officials. Vehicles approaching the city can enter Warje via Ramp Number 6.
The present detour was declared to allow for the construction of a substructure at the Pashan major bridge. Under the Bharatmala Pariyojana, the NHAI is building a 700-kilometre greenfield motorway between the two cities. The motorway will run across 12 districts and reduce travel time to about 7 hours.
