Naroda Patiya–Galaxy Junction Flyover — photo 1

On record

Billed as Ahmedabad's longest proposed flyover at 2.5km, this project was approved in August 2021 but construction did not actually start until July 2023, nearly two years later. As of a March 2025 report it was only about 40% complete and already deemed "unlikely to meet its 36-month deadline."

The official record states: "Not specified for this project individually; general delay factors cited for Ahmedabad's flyover programme include utility relocation, land acquisition, and coordination failures between AMC departments."

“Approved in 2021, started in 2023, forty percent done in 2025: the city's longest flyover by every measure.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

Visitor reviews Satire

“Approved in 2021, started in 2023, forty percent built in 2025. The city's longest flyover in every possible sense.”
IK I. Krishnan · Ahmedabad★★★★★
“Two and a half kilometres of promise and a thirty-six-month deadline that everyone has quietly agreed to stop mentioning.”
BA B. Agarwal · Ahmedabad★★★★★
“Drove the Naroda Patiya stretch through the works. The utility relocation appears to be an ongoing archaeological programme.”

Chimanbhai Patel Bridge: Cracks and Bulging Slabs

After heavy weekend rain in 2025, footpaths on this Sabarmati bridge split completely on the Sabarmati-side incline and fractured badly near the curve by the under-construction Bullet Train station, with concrete slabs visibly pushed outward at both spots. AMC had already flagged the need for repairs and expansion-joint replacement in a pre-monsoon inspection but postponed the fix, citing heavy daily traffic and ongoing secondary-wing construction.

Citywide Bridge Bearing Failures: Gandhi, Sardar and Majmudar Bridges

A safety review ordered after the July 2025 Gambhira Bridge collapse found deteriorated elastomeric bearings across 89 spans of three key Ahmedabad river bridges (38 spans on Gandhi Bridge, 48 on Sardar Bridge and 3 on Parikshitlal Majmudar Bridge), prompting a ₹21.55 crore emergency repair sanction. The review followed an August 2024 AMC audit that had already found 75% of 70 inspected bridges/flyovers citywide defective.

Subhash Bridge: Span Sinks and Cracks Open Up

This 1973-built four-lane bridge, carrying thousands of vehicles and several bus routes daily, developed large cracks and a visibly sunken span section in December 2025 (its last repair had been in 2019), forcing a five-day emergency closure. Months later, in March 2026, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation approved a ₹240 crore renovation of the bridge.
