Pune Sets December 2026 Target for Sadhu Vaswani Bridge Completion.

Commuters in Koregaon Park, VVIP Circuit House, Bund Garden and Wadia College areas will have to wait another five months, with the Sadhu Vaswani Bridge unlikely to be completed before December 2026.

Civic chief Naval Kishore Ram inspected the ongoing bridge work on Tuesday and directed officials to complete the pending work by the end of December. He also said the project’s progress would be reviewed every month to maintain the pace of construction.

Officials said the launching of a 54-metre-long Open Web Girder is scheduled to be completed by the end of September. Construction of the remaining spans will begin after the girder is launched.

The project was originally expected to be completed within two and a half years from the start of actual construction. However, the revised timeline now puts completion of the bridge by December 2026.

Once completed, the bridge is expected to improve connectivity and ease traffic movement for commuters in the surrounding areas.
