“The Bhide bridge will be closed from the wee hours of April 20 to June 6. This is being done to complete the ongoing construction of footover bridge from Narayan Peth to Deccan Gymkhana Metro station,” said a statement issued by the Pune Metro rail.

With both Pune Metro rail routes now operational, the Pune Metro authorities are focusing on developing supporting infrastructure. As part of this effort, two foot overbridges are being constructed to provide seamless connectivity for residents of Shaniwar Peth, Narayan Peth, and Laxmi Road to the Metro stations located across the Mutha River.

According to Pune Metro officials, the foot overbridge connecting Shaniwar Peth to the Bal Gandharva Metro Station is nearly complete and will be opened to the public soon. Meanwhile, the second bridge, linking Narayan Peth to Deccan Gymkhana, will be built above the Bhide Bridge, with construction expected to be completed within the next two months.
