Pedestrian Bridge Connecting JM Road and Shaniwar Peth Opened
The new pedestrian bridge over the Mutha River, connecting the Chhatrapati Sambhaji Garden Metro Station on Jangali Maharaj Road (JM Road) to Shaniwar Peth, was inaugurated by CM Devendra Fadnavis on Monday. This modern cable-stayed bridge is designed in the shape of a Tanpura, a tribute to Pune's cultural heritage.
The 179.791-meter-long and 8-meter-wide bridge is the first of its kind in the city, built exclusively for pedestrians. It directly links the metro station to the densely populated areas of Shaniwar Peth, Sadashiv Peth, and Narayan Peth. This new connectivity is expected to make metro travel more convenient for residents, encouraging pedestrian movement and increasing metro ridership in Pune’s city centre.
