About eight months after inauguration, chunks of concrete began falling from the Madan Mahal section of this flyover, captured on video and widely shared; residents say they are now afraid to use the underpass beneath it after earlier reports of joint gaps and cracks.
On record
The official record states: "PWD called it a "finishing issue" rather than structural damage — leftover cement "slurry" at construction joints not removed by the contractor."
Filed as "Under repeat repair — safety concerns unresolved" and dated to 2025 (inaugurated ~Sept 2025), this entry sits under the "~₹1,000 crore" line of the public accounts.
What to expect
- Pillars reaching skyward with no deck to justify them.
- A signboard promising an opening date that has since passed, unbothered.
- Traffic queuing patiently beneath the unfinished span.
- Rebar exposed where the road was meant to continue.

Visitor reviews
“Went with my in-laws, who were surprisingly into it. It has a foundation stone, a file number and a small devoted following.”
“Turned off the main road on a hunch, and there it was. You could set a watch by how little changes.”
“Made a pilgrimage of sorts after years of following the saga. The consultant's report reportedly recommended another consultant.”
