On record
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.
The official record states: "PCMC's Joint City Engineer Devanna Gattuwar said "the work was delayed due to objections from a housing society," which required design modifications and height adjustments that increased costs."
“A 107-metre bridge, eight years of work, one side still missing. Butterfly is generous.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“One hundred and seven metres over the Pawana, eight years of work, and one side of it still does not reach the other bank.”
“Twenty-five crore became forty crore while a housing society and a design consultant negotiated the height of a bridge nobody can use.”
“Turned up after the January deadline like a fool. The deadline had been rescheduled somewhere I was not invited.”
