Pokhran Road No. 2 has been widened. A 40 metre wide road has been constructed in this, but the work of the bridge over the BMC pipeline could not be carried out due to encroachment and other reasons.

At this place, 89.60 metres of bridge has been constructed on the side of Raymond Company and 120.60 metres on the side of Subhash Nagar.
