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.
