On record
A retaining-wall section of this overbridge collapsed on December 18, 2025, and a second section collapsed again on February 22, 2026, barely 3-4 years after completion, forcing traffic closure on the busy Jabalpur-Bhopal highway.
The official record states: "MPRRDC officials said "the contractor was negligent during construction, therefore we will have the bridge rebuilt by the same contractor," attributing the failure to the retaining wall's panel-locking mechanism giving way."
“Three hundred and ninety-one crore, four years old, collapsed in December and again in February for good measure.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“The retaining wall came down in December and then did it again in February, on a national highway four years old.”
“MPRRDC says the contractor was negligent and will therefore be rebuilding it. Same contractor, same wall, same panels.”
“Three hundred and ninety-one crore, and the panel locks on the retaining wall held for about as long as the warranty talk.”
