Khadki and Range Hills Underpasses Finally Set for Major Widening

26 Nov 2025

Daily traffic congestion at the Khadki underpass and the Range Hills underpass has become a major concern for commuters who rely on these key Pune routes. This update explains how Pune traffic issues continue to worsen due to narrow rail underpasses that slow down vehicle movement during peak hours. Many road users say the Khadki underpass near the police station is no longer able to handle current traffic volume, while the single lane at Government Hatcheries Chowk creates long queues throughout the day.

The Pune Municipal Corporation has now moved ahead with plans to widen these rail underpasses after years of delay. Officials confirmed that preliminary designs for the Pune rail underpass widening proposal have been prepared, and the process to acquire land from the Ministry of Defence has started. The project is expected to improve road connectivity in Bopodi, Aundh, Shivajinagar and Khadki, and reduce the load on the busy traffic routes near Bopodi underpass and Shivajinagar underpass. PMC is also working on widening the RTO Chowk underpass to further improve Pune traffic flow
