Pune's Monsoon Road Woes End: New Permanent Route for Nanded City-Shivane Approved

• Pune's Khadakwasla Dam area faces severe monsoon traffic congestion, now a permanent solution is approved.
• A new high-level bridge will be constructed over the Mutha River between Nanded City and Shivane.
• The current low-lying bridge often submerges when water is released from Khadakwasla Dam, causing closures and an hour of extra travel.
• The proposed bridge will be approximately 250 meters long and 24 meters wide, costing around 48 crore rupees.
• It will include a 150-meter access road and connect to a widened 24-meter road in Shivane.
