Rs 4.23 Crore BRTS Clean-Up and a January Flyover Deadline, Vishrantwadi Road Finally Gets Moving
PMC has decided to speed up pending work on removing BRTS infrastructure along Vishrantwadi Road, and will spend Rs 4.23 crore to shift bus stops, rebuild road medians and provide proper pedestrian crossings. The BRTS lanes were removed in July, ahead of the Palkhi processions, but bus stops and metal barriers were never fully cleared, and nearly four months later the work is still pending. Commuters say passengers wait by the roadside without shelters since the stops were moved, and residents complain about missing medians and damaged barricades. A civic official said the plan is now finalised and work will begin in phases. Local corporators want firm deadlines.
The same junction is also getting a flyover and a grade separator at Vishrantwadi Chowk. The flyover is about 80% complete, and PMC has set a January deadline to open it, which should ease the commute towards Lohegaon airport. Work at the main junction is slow because some structures must be removed first, and PMC is holding talks with stakeholders to relocate them. The grade separator, for vehicles coming from Alandi and heading towards RTO or BEG, is likely to be ready by March 2027. Barricading for both projects has narrowed Alandi Road and the Tingrenagar-airport road, making peak hour travel difficult, so traffic police have deployed extra personnel in two shifts. Both structures also account for the proposed Metro viaduct alignment. For commuters here, real relief will come only when the road clean-up and the flyover finish on time.
