NHAI to test concrete used in Sohna elevated stretch
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will test the concrete used to construct the elevated section of Sohna Road, a portion of which collapsed on Thursday night. The agency may also review its design, as suggested by experts who inspected the site.
Three girders of the 5-km project fell on Thursday at around 9.50pm near Vipul Greens condominium injuring two labourers. Light traffic and the weekend restrictions in place to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease helped keep casualties down.
Senior NHAI officials and consultants to the projected had visited the site on Thursday night along with technical experts. The damaged 40-metre section, NHAI officials said, will be removed within 15 days and fresh girders will be installed.
