On record
A portion of the lower flyover structure, reportedly built with "murum" (loose soil/gravel) fill rather than proper engineered material, caved in on the morning of July 9, 2026, injuring two people on a two-wheeler. Both the service road and upper bridge were shut, and residents demanded a formal inquiry and action against those responsible.
The official record states: "Police Inspector Omkant Chincholkar suggested "an earthquake occurred early Thursday morning, which might be the reason behind this collapse," though residents pressed for an inquiry into construction quality instead."
“Filled with loose soil where engineering was specified. The soil left when it rained.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“The police inspector suggested an earthquake. Nobody in Nanded felt one, but everybody saw the loose soil.”
“Two people on a two-wheeler went down with it, and the residents are the only ones asking about construction quality.”
