To further alleviate the Pune traffic congestion on university road, the Pune City Traffic Police have implemented a new diversion strategy. This plan restricts vehicle access to Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) from Senapati Bapat Road and Ganeshkhind Road, directing traffic through an alternative route via the Millennium Gate near Chaturshringi Police Station. Additionally, specific measures have been introduced for vehicles coming from Baner and Aundh, aiming to streamline movement and reduce congestion at this critical Pune junction.
