This short bridge/road stretch packs three consecutive sharp ~90-degree turns into a brief section, creating a zigzag pattern widely compared online to the mobile game "Temple Run" rather than conventional road design. Google Maps satellite imagery of the structure went viral on social media (shared by Congress Kerala in June 2025), racking up over a million views and a wave of memes questioning why it wasn't built as a simple curve.

Visitor reviews
“Took the metro out here specifically, which was its own adventure. It made me want to read an RTI reply, which is not nothing.”
“Found it exactly where the internet said it would be, disappointingly intact. The crane had not moved between my two visits, a year apart.”
“Wandered up from the bridge next door, which was also unfinished. It is amenable, at present, mostly to pigeons.”
