Hey there, folks! If you’ve been wondering why the Sadhu Vaswani Bridge in Koregaon Park hasn’t come down yet, we’ve got the scoop for you. Turns out, the demolition has hit a snag due to a lack of approval from the railway administration for some necessary schedule changes and megablocks.
The Pune Municipal Corporation has been on the case, trying to get the green light from railway officials so they can get this show on the road. Construction on the new bridge started back in April 2023, and they’ve already made some progress on tearing down the old bridge. But they’ve only managed to demolish about 40% of it so far.
The real challenge seems to be taking down the part of the bridge that goes over the railway tracks. This requires a megablock, which is basically a scheduled stoppage of train services. With all the trains zooming through the area, the railway administration hasn’t been able to finalize a block schedule yet. So, the PMC is thinking about breaking up the demolition into smaller blocks to keep things moving, as long as they can get the railway’s approval.
And to add to the drama, there are still some huts under the bridge that were supposed to be cleared out ages ago. The Dhole Patil Regional Office promised they’d be gone, but they’re still standing strong. The PMC is hoping everyone can get their act together and work together to get this new bridge up and running as soon as possible.
So, there you have it – the latest on the Sadhu Vaswani Bridge saga. Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds!
