Bavdhan sits at one of west Pune's busiest and most useful junctions: Chandani Chowk, where the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, the Old Mumbai-Pune Highway, Paud Road and NH-48 (the Mumbai-Bengaluru corridor) all meet. For a resident, that junction is the difference between a locality that feels tucked away and one that is genuinely close to everywhere in Pune and Mumbai.
The Chandani Chowk interchange
Chandani Chowk was rebuilt as a multi-level flyover and underpass system specifically to cut congestion at this meeting point of five roads. For residents of Bavdhan, it means Kothrud, Warje and the Mumbai-Pune Expressway are all reachable without the older single-lane bottleneck.
- Mumbai-Pune Expressway entry: roughly 2 km, giving fast access toward Mumbai, Lonavala and Khandala
- NH-48 (Bengaluru Highway) toward Katraj, Satara Road and south Pune
- Paud Road and Karve Road into central Pune, Kothrud and Deccan
- SH-52 toward Pirangut and the western outskirts
