Within 24 hours of opening, this flyover saw two accidents and drew criticism over its steep gradient flagged in early safety audits; commuters have since publicly said the road below is "wider, feels safer and experiences less congestion" than the flyover meant to relieve traffic.
On record
The official record states: "PCMC maintains the structure is "structurally safe and was built to improve traffic flow" and has urged motorists to follow the 30 kmph speed limit, without directly addressing why commuters avoid it."
Filed as "Still standing but largely avoided by commuters" and dated to Opened May 22, 2026, this entry sits under the "₹22 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.

“Saw the crane from the highway and had to investigate. You leave with a new respect for the word 'sanctioned'.”
“Visited twice, a year apart, to check whether anything had changed. It has become a landmark by sheer persistence of failure.”
“Heard the story from an auto driver and went to see for myself. The completion date clearly has frequent-flyer status.”
