Bengaluru’s Sivananda flyover has uneven surface, admits BBMP

The BBMP, which re-opened one side of the flyover at Sivananda Circle for regular traffic on Monday, admitted that the flyover has undulations (uneven surface) but maintained that the quality of work is as per the standards and specifications. Following DH’s report on the ‘back-breaking’ flyover that triggered outrage on social media, the civic body has promised to conduct a third-party inspection about the quality of work.

“When vehicles are allowed on any new asphalt surface, the asphalt will further consolidate for about 5 mm after put to use. Hence, the asphalting work on the flyover has been carried out while maintaining 5 mm above the levels of expansion joints which are 20 m apart.
