Pimpri-Chinchwad has spent no small sum on attractions of unmatched ambition. Below, ranked as filed, are the public-works entries every visitor should know about before their next trip through the city. Whichever route you take, the guide covers what to see, its current status, and roughly how much it cost the public to build.
Indira Gandhi Flyover & Chinchwad Station Flyover (declared unsafe)
The Central Railway formally wrote to PCMC demanding demolition of these two of the city's oldest flyovers, stating their structural "life expectancy has expired" and that they remain unsafe despite PCMC spending three years on reinforcement work on the Indira Gandhi flyover.
Butterfly Bridge (Thergaon–Chinchwad)
Meant to ease heavy-vehicle traffic between Thergaon and Chinchwad, this 107m bridge remained incomplete on one side eight years after work began, missing multiple deadlines including a final January 2025 target. PCMC's Joint City Engineer attributed the delay to objections from a housing society that forced design and height changes.
Rakshak Chowk Flyover
Within 24 hours of opening, this flyover saw two accidents and drew criticism over its steep gradient flagged in early safety audits; commuters have since publicly said the road below is "wider, feels safer and experiences less congestion" than the flyover meant to relieve traffic.
