As part of this development, a pedestrian subway will be constructed from Kasba Peth to Budhwar Peth metro station. In light of these construction activities, temporary traffic modifications have been implemented in the area, specifically from Pavle Chowk to Kamla Nehru Chowk (Agarwala Road) in Kasba Peth.
