Elevated Pune Metro Line 3 to be operational in Apr 2025

The 23-km Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar elevated Pune Metro Line 3 will be completely operational from April 2025, with the integrated double-deck flyover at University Chowk to be finished by November 2024, according to officials of the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA).

The integrated flyover connects Shivajinagar and Hinjewadi, two information technology hubs, on Pune’s third metro line. According to officials, it will launch immediately rather than gradually, as was the case with the other two lines of the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MahaMetro).

Rahul Mahiwal, the commissioner of PMRDA, said that the projects’ schedules have been followed and that the entire project will be finished in three years as specified. “After the commencement date last year, work on the metro line began,” he said. “Pier and piling work is going on. We are aiming to reduce traffic so that activity can start, since the integrated flyover project, which will combine the metro line and the flyover below, is about to start. It is proposed to build ramps on 1.7 km and add underpasses to this integrated flyover to relieve congestion.”

The PMRDA commissioner is also exploring other diversions, such as using the Pune Rural police headquarters route and Millenium Gate through the varsity as alternate options, because regular snarls continue to occur at this chowk despite the rerouting of traffic.
