On record
This 1.4km, 56-pillar overbridge was launched in 2019 with a 2022 target. As of April 2026, only seven of nine planned railway traffic blocks needed over live tracks had been used, leaving ~5,000 vehicles/day and ambulances stuck for up to 5km when level-crossing gates close for over 100 daily trains; cracks have appeared in some pillars.
The official record states: "NHAI attributed the delay to difficulty obtaining railway traffic blocks needed to work over the live rail line."
“Fifty-six pillars, seven years, cracks already, and five thousand vehicles a day still waiting at the crossing.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“Waited at the Pitki gate behind an ambulance while one of a hundred daily trains went past. The overbridge above us is seven years old and unfinished.”
“Fifty-six pillars, some already cracked, and NHAI is still waiting for the railways to hand over a traffic block.”
“Seven hundred and eight crore on a 1.4-kilometre bridge that five thousand vehicles a day are watching from the queue.”
