While the flyover at Jedhe Chowk in Swargate is being touted as the solution to commuter and pedestrian woes, citizens are complaining that unless the PMC decides to undertake widening of the road underneath it, the problems may actually increase. Jedhe Chowk is one of the busiest junctions in the city.

Work on the 1.4 km L-shaped flyover began in November 2013 and it will connect traffic on Shankar Sheth Road and Satara Road. When it is ready, it expected to be a big help for public transport buses in the city, but the road underneath the flyover could turn out to be a nightmare for vehicular traffic and pedestrians.
