Dwarka Chowk Underpass Work Disrupts Citilinc Routes In Nashik For Three Months

Nashik: In view of the upcoming Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2027, construction of the ₹214-crore underpass at Dwarka Chowk has begun to ease traffic congestion in the city. Due to this work, Dwarka Chowk will remain completely closed to heavy vehicles, private passenger buses, MSRTC buses and Nashik Municipal Corporation’s Citilinc buses for the next three months, leading to major changes in Citilinc routes across Nashik.

The existing bus stops at Siddharth Hotel, Pournima, Dwarka, and Wadala Naka will remain closed during this period. To facilitate commuters, new stops have been introduced at Vijay Mamata Signal, Ashoka Marg, Amrapali Tower, Kalpataru Nagar, Ashoka School, Lakshmi Mata Chowk, Bharat Nagar, Sahyadri Hospital, Aisha Nagar, Mumbai Naka and Urdu School.

All Citilinc buses that earlier departed from Nimani bus station will now operate from the Tapovan Bus Depot starting Saturday. As per police instructions, no City Link bus will halt at Nimani to prevent traffic congestion. Buses will either stop directly at Panchavati Karanja after Panchavati Depot Corner or at Panchavati Depot Corner after Panchavati Karanja. However, some MSRTC buses will continue to operate from Nimani.

The Citilinc pass centre at Nimani will remain operational, and passengers can continue to obtain passes from there. For further information, commuters can contact the helpline numbers 8530057222 or 8530067222

Due to the underpass construction work at Dwarka Chowk, the traffic system has been changed, and passengers are urged to travel after familiarizing themselves with the new routes and stops.
