The movement of traffic at Chandni Chowk in Pune will be stopped between 12:30 am and 1 am from Wednesday till further orders to facilitate the blasting of rocks as part of construction of a multi-level flyover at the congested junction, officials said on Saturday.

An old bridge was demolished through a controlled blast last week at the junction, situated on the Mumbai-Bengaluru highway, as part of ambitious efforts to create new infrastructure to mitigate traffic bottlenecks there.
