The flyover deteriorated to the point former Improvement Trust chairman Dinesh Bassi publicly warned it "may collapse," alleging substandard contractor work and demanding an FIR and high-level inquiry; it was also built without a service lane.
Amritsar's Stalled Bypass-Road Flyovers
Multiple flyovers on Amritsar's bypass road have remained incomplete years past deadline, turning the bypass into a routine accident zone due to poor visibility and narrow construction-zone passages; MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla called them "symbols of administrative neglect" in the Lok Sabha.
Frequently Asked
Visitor questions
What is the number one place to see in Amritsar?

Are these attractions safe to visit?
Define 'safe'. Daylight visits are advised. Maintain distance from open manholes, leaning structures, and anything under active repair. We accept no liability; neither does anyone else, which is rather the theme.
How much did these projects cost?
Where public figures exist, they're listed on each attraction's page, sourced from tenders, budgets and RTI replies. Several projects have no publicly disclosed final cost — that's noted too.
