History

Mont Vert 2, a landmark residential complex in Sus Road

Sus Road is a newly developed location after the expansion of Pune city limits in the late 1990s. Real estate in the area has increased tenfold in the past decade in order to meet the growing demand of residents. Once an underdeveloped road, Sus Road was renovated in 2008 on the occasion of the Commonwealth Youth Games held in the neighboring suburb of Balewadi. The road width was increased, and a six-lane asphalt road was laid to promote growth and travel. Few more additions included a recreational park near the bypass intersection and pedestrian footpaths.
