The Pune flyover in focus is a part of a larger ₹118 crore project comprising the construction of three flyovers between Rajaram Bridge and Funtime Theater on Sinhagad Road. The Rajaram Bridge Chowk flyover stretching 650 metre was inaugurated earlier this year while work on the third flyover is 70% complete. The third flyover is expected to be ready within the next two months, which will connect Goyal Ganga Chowk to Prakash Inamdar Chowk.

PMC project department executive engineer, Sandeep Patil, said,“Gantry installation and a few minor tasks are pending and will be completed in four to five days,” reported HT.

A video is doing rounds on social media in which Congress MP Supriya Sule can be seen asking PMC to open the flyover without waiting for a formal ceremony. Once the flyover in discussion opens, chronic traffic snarls along Sinhagad Road will be eased, Supriya Sule said.
