Overview
- PMC’s Standing Committee approved a double-decker flyover at Mahatma Phule Chowk on the Mundhwa–Keshavnagar–Kharadi bypass, integrating the proposed Magarpatta–Kharadi metro above a lower vehicular deck.
- The flyover is specified at 1,080 metres total length with a 796‑metre main bridge, 16‑metre width, and 36 piers including eight in the riverbed, with approach roads planned on both Kharadi and Mundhwa sides.
- Published cost estimates differ, with one report citing Rs 126.63 crore inclusive of taxes and provisions and another citing Rs 120.11 crore.
- Separately, an underground pedestrian subway at Kaleborate Nagar (Gate No. 6) in Hadapsar was approved at an estimated Rs 5.37 crore, to be executed by railway authorities with phased funding from PMC.
- Officials say the subway addresses safety risks from frequent gate closures near schools, while flyover tendering is expected shortly to align with metro expansion and cut travel time between Magarpatta and Kharadi.
