Commuter Demands for Safety and Improved Infrastructure on Reopened Bopodi-Khadki Stretch

13 Sep 2023

Commuters using the recently reopened Bopodi-Khadki stretch on the old Mumbai-Pune highway have raised several key concerns. They are urging authorities to address the inadequate street lighting along the stretch, particularly during nighttime travel, to enhance safety. Additionally, there is a demand for the reopening of the stretch from Bopodi to Khadki for vehicles coming from Harris Bridge and going towards Shivajinagar. While the reopening of the road has provided some relief, commuters stress the need for ongoing safety improvements, including managing wrong-side driving issues and reducing chaos at Bopodi Chowk. They look forward to the expected completion of the road widening work in the coming months and anticipate the resumption of heavy vehicle movement.

 

To address these concerns, traffic police have implemented measures such as barricades and markings to regulate traffic flow, allowing only cars and bikes on the stretch. Overall, commuters seek a safer and more organized travel experience on this crucial transportation route as both road expansion and Metro projects near completion.
