Investigation found that instead of filling the space behind retaining walls with proper soil, contractors dumped demolition debris (broken asphalt and concrete chunks from old roads), along with broken blocks and pillars, causing leakage and pillar subsidence risk during monsoon. "Defective cement" was also found used in pillar construction, causing visible damage at multiple points on these two NHAI flyovers meant to serve 75,000-90,000 vehicles a day each.

Visitor reviews
“Visited during a festival, when even the crowds skipped it. Officially it is progressing; physically it is weathering.”
“Came out on the recommendation of a very sarcastic travel blog. The ribbon outlasted the resolve, and you can tell.”
“Went to check whether the 'temporarily closed' sign had aged. Honestly, Jaipur should put it on the official map and own it.”
