Even it is understandable that the work of demolishing the Chandni Chowk bridge of Pune is being carried out with the technique of twin tower of Noida. But it is incomprehensible that Chandni Chowk is in Delhi Why is the Pune bridge still called the Chandni Chowk bridge?
When you try to understand this, you will not get the answer in Google. You will get the answer then, when you will talk to the local people of Pune. We have come to know that the old Chandni Chowk bridge is being demolished to deal with the traffic problem, to widen the roads and to build new big bridges, but now let’s try to know that from this bridge. What are the other 10 special things related to it.
These 10 things make Chandni Chowk bridge special
1. Why is the Pune bridge named as Chandni Chowk? Before knowing the answer to this, it is important to know that how was this name of Chandni Chowk in Delhi named. Actually Chandni Chowk market was built by the Mughal ruler Shah Jahan in the 17th century. Its design was prepared by his daughter Jahanara. Here a canal passed through the middle of the road, which used to store water in the pond present in the middle of the square. At night, the reflection of the moon was visible in this pond and it looked very beautiful. Hence this square was named Chandni Chowk and the market around it was named Chandni Chowk Bazaar.
Talking about Pune, there is no canal or pond here. But many canal-like roads pass through this square. Therefore this area of Pune was named Chandni Chowk and the bridge built on it was also called Chandni Chowk Bridge.
2. The importance of the Chandni Chowk bridge is that it is built on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and connects Pune to Bangalore. That is, it connects Pune to the west and south. It falls in the middle of the way from Mumbai to Bangalore.
3. Chandni Chowk bridge is not only the entry and exit point for Mumbai and Bangalore, but also the main roads of Pune coming from NDA, Varje and Bavdhan pass through here.
4. It is not only a junction of different states but also connects not only Mumbai but also Bhulav, Nanded, Lavasa and Pashan in Maharashtra. That is, not only the interstate, the roads connecting all the intercity and intracity pass through here.
5. In such a new plan prepared to reduce traffic, there will be a wider bridge than before, as well as an underpass, two roundabouts, two signalized junctions adjacent to it. With this, the traffic will be adjusted much better than today.
6. The importance of Chandni Chowk of Pune has increased even more because not only is the network of roads spread like many canals here, but now the reach of metro is also going to be here. Onej Metro has been brought from Ramwadi to Chandni Chowk in Pune.
7. Another very special feature of Chandni Chowk is that it connects the IT Park and Industrial Areas of Pune. Pranjali Patil Nagaram, Shinde Nagar, Bhosari Colony, Jijai Nagar are very near from here. Therefore, the area near Chandni Chowk bridge is a rapidly developing area in the future.
8. Chandni Chowk Bridge is the second such structure after the twin tower of Noida, which will be demolished in 5 seconds by fitting 600 kg of explosives at 1300 points in a very modern way and will not damage any nearby structure. This is a record in itself for grounding a bridge in the shortest time with the use of modern technology.
9. Another special thing about this place is that it is the center of many big government and private big companies. It also connects many educational institutions. Yes, there are sub registrar ki mansion and police help center in government offices as well as offices of all big banks are present. It also connects the path of MIT World Peace University and Ambrosia Institute of Hotel Management.
10. The tenth and most important fact is that due to which the decision has been taken to demolish the Chandni Chowk bridge in Pune. All the preparations have been done. Yesterday, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari also did an aerial survey of this area to take stock of these preparations. This bridge is going to be grounded at two o’clock in the night. In fact, it connects so many cities, towns, areas that the pressure of traffic is no longer being faced here. The traffic jam here is increasing day by day. This is the reason that the work of building a new bridge is going to be started by demolishing the bridge.
