This 3.9km flyover was built with a poorly designed landing that created a chronic traffic bottleneck at Samvidhan Square soon after opening. A state minister publicly acknowledged the "faulty design," and a ₹34-crore modification plan was announced, but implementation has stalled amid inter-agency disputes.
On record
The official record states: "A state minister acknowledged the flyover's landing had a "faulty design"; the follow-up ₹34-crore fix remains stuck between implementing agencies."
Filed as "Still standing (barely) — design defect unresolved" and dated to Opened early 2020, this entry sits under the "₹219 crore" line of the public accounts.
What to expect
- Pillars reaching skyward with no deck to justify them.
- A signboard promising an opening date that has since passed, unbothered.
- Traffic queuing patiently beneath the unfinished span.
- Rebar exposed where the road was meant to continue.
