Pune Traffic: Widening Improves Flow, Congestion Remains
Imagine a road that's been made a little bit wider to help cars go faster.
That's what happened near Koregaon Park bridge in Pune, and it's helping.
People are happy about it.
But, the road towards another spot called Tadigutta Chowk is still very crowded, and that's causing problems for people going to places like the passport office.
More work is planned to fix the traffic, but it's still a work in progress.
PMC widened the turn from North Main Road towards Koregaon Park bridge, improving traffic.
Commuters appreciate the improvements but note issues remain towards Tadigutta Chowk.
The road to Tadigutta Chowk, connecting to Mundhwa, is congested.
A significant increase in commercial establishments has increased traffic.
PMC is expediting construction of a parallel wing to the Koregaon Park bridge.
