On record
Now West Bengal's longest flyover, it originally targeted an August 2012 deadline but was extended multiple times. It opened in October 2015 without its connecting ramps to the AJC Bose Road flyover finished, causing severe traffic chaos that forced police to temporarily shut it down; the eastbound and westbound connecting flanks were not completed until August 2016 and February 2019 respectively.
The official record states: "No single public explanation was given for the repeated deadline extensions; cost escalation was attributed generically to the decade-plus construction timeline."

“Opened in 2015 without the ramps that connect it to anything, so the police had to close it again.”
“Nine kilometres from Science City to the Victoria, and the last connecting flank arrived in February 2019.”
“Three hundred and twenty crore became four hundred and sixty over a decade, which is the fare for finishing things out of order.”
