Overview

  • Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is inaugurating the third and final phase of Pune’s double-decker Sinhagad Road flyover at 3 pm on September 1.
  • The Pune structure provides uninterrupted passage across nine intersections, with officials estimating 15–25 minutes of daily time savings for commuters.
  • The opening in Pune follows an August 25 protest by the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena over delays, after which authorities moved to allow traffic on the full span.
  • In Nagpur, the Bole Petrol Pump–Futala Square flyover’s main structure is complete, with rumble strips, thermoplastic road markings, painting, and signboards slated to finish by September 3–4.
  • Nagpur’s flyover will open on a trial basis before a formal inauguration as part of the ARTIP corridor, with the span reported at ₹245 crore within ₹478 crore of works led by the road transport ministry; road concreting below the bridge will continue for roughly two weeks with some diversions in place.
