Bihar CM Nitish Kumar inaugurated this three-level flyover on June 11, 2025, calling it "not just a bridge, but a vision." By August 2025 visible cracks had appeared following heavy monsoon rainfall, sparking public criticism about construction quality.

On record

The official record states: "No official statement addressing the cracks was issued; damage was informally attributed to heavy monsoon rain."

Filed as "Under repeat repair (cracks within two months of opening)" and dated to 2025, this entry sits under the "₹422 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.
