On record
Just three years after opening, structural cracks and weak concrete forced authorities to demolish and rebuild the flyover; IIT-Madras and "Metro Man" E. Sreedharan's review found the contractor had used substandard construction materials, sparking a major corruption case.
The official record states: "Investigators found only 2 of 6 girder concrete samples met required strength; state government said renovation was "insufficient" and full demolition/rebuild was necessary."
“Three years old and already demolished. A Metro Man had to be called to explain why.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“Used it for three years, watched it get demolished, and now use the replacement. Same junction, two flyovers, one lifetime.”
“Two of six concrete samples passed the strength test, and the other four are the reason I sat in a diversion for two years.”
“Forty-seven crore to build, eighteen to rebuild, and a retired Metro Man dragged out of retirement to state the obvious.”
