One of Vizag's oldest flyovers, once beautified ahead of a major international event, has since been left to decay — dead plants, broken tiles and deteriorated vertical-greenery structures — as maintenance funds are reserved mainly for VIP routes.
On record
The official record states: "Citizens allege authorities maintain only routes used by dignitaries (airport, railway station, luxury hotels) while other roads are neglected; no official rebuttal reported."
Filed as "Still standing (barely) / neglected" and dated to One of Vizag's older flyovers (exact year not specified), this entry sits under the "Cost not specified" 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.

Visitor reviews
“Visited during a festival, when even the crowds skipped it. Five stars, purely for the honesty.”
“Came out on the recommendation of a very sarcastic travel blog. Nothing quite prepares you for seeing it in person.”
“Went to check whether the 'temporarily closed' sign had aged. It explains a lot about the Visakhapatnam budget, quietly.”
