Summary:
Following an accident a few years ago, the barrier near Kamgar statue was removed, followed by the barrier near Gadital Chowk. This also reduced the vehicular movement near Shivajinagar court premises.Initially, height barriers were installed on either end of the bridge. “These height barriers used to prevent heavy vehicles from using the bridge at night-time,” Shinde said.“We have requested Pune Municipal Corporation to install the height barriers again. We have also been fining motorists in the night-time,” he said.The bridge was made a one-way about a decade ago in a bid to ease congestion at Gadital Chowk near Juna Bazaar . We regularly fine them,” said inspector B U Shinde of the Shivajinagar traffic division.However, the regular police action has failed to act as a deterrent..
