On record
Heavy vehicles were banned from the flyover for over 3 years after structural defects emerged; a political party alleged corruption behind the substandard construction.
The official record states: ""Corruption behind poorly built Peenya flyover," alleged the Karnataka Rashtra Samithi; BBMP undertook repeated repair phases."
“Three years without heavy vehicles is a long time to hold a grudge against your own deck.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

Visitor reviews Satire
“Took my lorry the long way round Tumkur Road for three years while the flyover above us had a lie-down.”
“It carries cars but not trucks, which in the middle of an industrial estate is a genuinely daring choice of clientele.”
“Watched another repair phase from the tea stall opposite. The patchwork is now better built than the deck it is holding together.”
