‘Back-breaking’ flyover closed a week after launch
Just a week after the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) threw open one side of the steel flyover at Sivananda Circle, the civic body has closed it by blocking entry of vehicles.
On Sunday, the BBMP barricaded both sides of the flyover following concerns raised by users regarding the poor quality of work, particularly on the undulating surface at multiple spots.
The day saw at least half a dozen workers undertake repair works on the Rs 40-crore flyover which was opened for traffic on August 15. With entry to the flyover blocked, traffic was hit on Kumara Krupa Road and the stretch of roads between the railway bridge and the junction.
