The temporary closure of Gariahat flyover for load testing doubled the commute time for many vehicles that took Gariahat Road instead on Saturday. The flyover enables hundreds of motorists to jump past the congested Gariahat crossing.
Gariahat flyover has been closed to traffic from Friday night till Tuesday early morning for a load testing exercise by the HRBC. Heavy goods vehicles and buses are not being allowed to ply under the flyover to reduce congestion at the Gariahat crossing.
Over the next two days, HRBC engineers said they will conduct two types of tests on the bridge — static and dynamic.
