Construction of a 2.5km elevated flyover began in August 2017 but halted in October 2019 when the contracting agency walked off mid-project amid a payment dispute with the main concessionaire; work remained suspended for at least nine months despite an NHAI notice.
On record
The official record states: "District administration said the contractor "left the work midway due to a 'tussle' over payments" with the main concessionaire."
Filed as "Abandoned mid-construction — only 40% complete when halted" and dated to Started Aug 2017; suspended Oct 2019, this entry sits under the "₹200 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.

“Asked a local for directions and got a knowing laugh instead. The render in the brochure is having a much better time.”
“Detoured here after reading the file number online. You can feel the feasibility study straining.”
“Brought out-of-town friends here before anywhere on the tourist map. Somehow both under construction and clearly abandoned.”
