Pune: Katraj Chowk is an important crossroad to travel towards Pune, Mumbai and other cities. Therefore, the chowk is always teeming with traffic. Moreover, Katraj-Kondhwa is another important bypass that connects this chowk to eastern suburbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A flyover is currently being built at the chowk. However, the segmental launching work was stalled due to heavy traffic and no alternative route to divert traffic. Diversion was attempted earlier but failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, an alternative diversion plan is ready and the work will resume on December 3. Therefore, major traffic diversions will be affected at Katraj Chowk. They are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A) Heavy vehicles such as dumpers, ready concrete mixers, heavy motor vehicles, goods transport vehicles, trailers, containers and multi-axle vehicles will have \u2018no entry\u2019 to Katraj Chowk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
*Heavy \/ very heavy vehicles should use alternative routes to reach their destinations<\/p>\n\n\n\n
*Local heavy vehicles from Mantarwadi, Undri and Pisoli areas will be allowed to ply from 10 pm to 4 am but they will have \u2018no entry\u2019 to Katraj Chowk from Iskcon Mandir onwards<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B) Following changes for ST and private passenger buses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C) DCP (Traffic) Amol Zende has appealed to residents from Mangdewadi, Dattawadi, Handewadi and Katraj to avoid travelling to Katraj via Katraj Chowk and use alternative routes as far as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
