About 10 lakh people working in the biggest IT hub are spending more time in navigating a 2 km stretch from Phase 1 to Wakad Dutta Mandir road 

Every day, I find myself trapped in an infuriating 30-minute delay, solely because the Wakad bridge, which should serve as a vital transit point, is a single lane. The highway transfer aims to be signal-free, yet the persistent bottleneck stemming from the lack of an underpass severely hampers the flow for traffic from Aundh and Wakad towards Hinjewadi. This bustling locality in Pune, Maharashtra, is growing rapidly as a tech hub, and continuous traffic snarls affect not only my daily routine but also thousands of others who commute through this route.

Hinjewadi witnesses an immense influx of commuters every day due to its thriving IT sector. The current infrastructure is inadequate to handle the volume of cars, making travel inefficient and exhausting. **Data from the Pune traffic department reveals that the number of vehicles on the highways is growing by 10% annually**, further exacerbating the situation.

To alleviate this issue, constructing an underpass at the Wakad bridge is a critical, actionable step. This underpass would enable smoother, uninterrupted flow of traffic, drastically reducing travel time and stress for commuters. It's not just a matter of convenience but a necessity for economic productivity and quality of life.

Such infrastructure improvements have been successfully implemented in other parts of India that faced similar problems, resulting in significant improvements in traffic conditions. With the state government's focus on sustainable development, creating an underpass here aligns perfectly with long-term urban planning goals.

Join me in urging the authorities to prioritize this essential infrastructure development. Sign this petition to demand the construction of an underpass at the Wakad bridge, and help pave the way for a more efficient, stress-free commute from Aundh and Wakad to Hinjewadi.
