The traffic police have imposed a ban on the movement of vehicles on Goraguntepalya flyover between midnight and 5 am on all days. According to an order, vehicles must take the service roads instead during that period.
Joint commissioner of police (traffic) BR Ravikanthe Gowda issued the new order on Saturday stating that the decision was necessitated as it becomes difficult for them to distinguish between light and heavy vehicles during the night and so vehicles keep crashing onto the height barriers installed at the entry points of the flyover.
Notably, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) had closed the flyover on December 25 citing repair work on two cables and said that the stretch would be thrown open in the first week of January.
