On record
Proposed by NHAI in 2020 with an original June 2024 completion deadline, this flyover on the Srinagar bypass has missed at least three successive deadlines (June 2024, June 2025, September 2025, and again in November 2025), causing daily traffic chaos on one of the city's busiest stretches. As of November 2025 it was still not fully open despite officials repeatedly declaring it "almost ready."
The official record states: "Delays were attributed to a 132 KV high-voltage transmission line running above the construction site and a shortage of suitable soil for construction."
“Four deadlines in eighteen months, each one announced as final.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“Four deadlines in eighteen months, each announced as the final one, on the busiest stretch of the bypass.”
“A 132 kV line overhead and a shortage of the right soil, which are both things you notice before starting.”
“Officials have called it almost ready for over a year now, and the traffic has learned what almost means.”
