Dateline: PUNE — The Pune Municipal Corporation announced on September 12, 2026, that it is expediting road widening from the RBI building to Sancheti Hospital Chowk to ease central traffic.
The Details
Traffic relief is on the horizon for one of Pune’s most congested central corridors. On September 12, 2026, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) confirmed that it has accelerated road-widening efforts from the RBI building up to Sancheti Hospital Chowk on University Road.
With the overhead Pune Metro viaduct works in this section reaching their final stages, the civic administration is pivoting to widen the surface road to 45 meters. PMC City Engineer Aniruddha Pawaskar stated that the first phase of widening from University Chowk to the RBI building is already complete.
The civic body is currently executing the remaining stretch in phases by acquiring necessary private land parcels along the route. The PMC aims to finish the bulk of this crucial infrastructure upgrade by the end of March 2027, promising significantly faster daily commutes once completed.
Why It Matters for Pune Camp
The promoter of BharatOne Spaces brings a rich experience of 30 years in various fields of business, emphasizing that seamless connectivity is the lifeblood of central commercial districts. Sancheti Chowk serves as the primary funnel for traffic moving from Pune’s western suburbs into the heart of the city, including the Cantonment and Camp areas.
Currently, bottlenecks at this junction severely delay employee commutes and deter premium shoppers from visiting central retail hubs. By widening this specific stretch to 45 meters, the PMC is actively unclogging the main artery feeding into Pune Camp. For corporate tenants operating out of Deccan Tower at Pulgate Chowk, Camp, Pune, this infrastructure upgrade guarantees smoother access for clients and staff, drastically improving the daily operational experience of being located in the city center.
