Kharadi: A New Multimodal Transport Hub
Kharadi, a growing commercial and residential area, has been chosen to become an Interchangeable and Multimodal Transport Hub. This will connect several metro routes to the airport, offering more convenient travel options for passengers. The proposed routes include:
- Chandani Chowk to Wagholi – Direct access to the airport from Kharadi
- Nigdi to Swargate – Reach the airport from Swargate via Kharadi
- Shivajinagar-Kharadi-Airport Corridor – Another possible route for airport access
- Hinjawadi to Shivajinagar – Travel through Kharadi to the airport
- Khadakwasla-Swargate-Hadapsar – Direct route to the airport
New Katraj to Hinjawadi Metro Route
With Pune’s population growing and traffic worsening, a new metro route from Katraj to Hinjawadi has been proposed. This extension will help manage urban expansion, improve public transport, and create a circular metro network linking Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad.
Double-Decker Flyover to Ease Traffic at Chandani Chowk
To ease heavy traffic on the Vanaz to Chandani Chowk route, officials are considering a double-decker flyover. This project, inspired by the successful Nal Stop flyover, aims to reduce congestion and ensure smooth travel along the metro corridor.
