Bengaluru’s busy Dr Shivakumara Swamiji flyover, popularly known as Goraguntepalya flyover, has remained closed to traffic for almost a month. Notably, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) shut the flyover after two rusted cables were discovered at the 8th Mile during an inspection on December 25.
The NHAI authorities had said that they found prestressed cable on the flyover, which could be a result of heavy rains in the past few months.
The closure of the flyover has resulted in an increase in vehicular traffic on Tumakuru Road.
Traffic has also increased on the Outer Ring Road (ORR), 8th Mile Junction and Hessarghatta Road, said Peenya traffic police officials.
