On record
Bhopal's longest flyover was inaugurated in January 2025; a quality inspection a week later found unsatisfactory riding-surface finishing and excessive expansion-joint corrosion. By August 2026 the asphalt layer had begun peeling with reinforcement rods exposed.
The official record states: "PWD's inspection team cited "unsatisfactory riding surface quality and finishing" and "excessive corrosion"; the assistant/sub-engineer were suspended, senior engineers issued show-cause notices, and the contractor fined."

“Bhopal's longest flyover failed its own quality inspection a week after the ribbon was cut.”
“Two and a half kilometres of asphalt already peeling off with the reinforcement showing through underneath.”
“One sub-engineer suspended, show-cause notices for the seniors, a fine for the contractor, and the expansion joints still rusting.”
