On record
Built in 2015, the flyover was shut to heavy vehicles for two years after visible structural weaknesses appeared, with a consultant's defect report left pending since 2021 and no internal inquiry conducted despite officials' awareness of the problem. In November 2024 the Delhi High Court, hearing a PIL by a BJP MLA, ordered a CBI probe after a bureaucratic standoff between PWD and TTDC over ₹8 crore in unpaid dues held up repairs.
The official record states: "Chief Justice Manmohan of the Delhi High Court remarked that "someone was trying to push corruption under the carpet" and questioned why no official had been held responsible despite the flyover's known "weak structure.""

“Two years shut to heavy vehicles while a consultant's defect report from 2021 sat unread in a drawer.”
“PWD and the development corporation spent the time arguing over eight crore of dues instead of repairing anything.”
“It took a High Court order and a CBI probe to get anyone to ask who signed off on a flyover with a known weak structure.”
