NHAI will take one more week to open Tumakuru Road flyover
The repair work on the Goraguntepalya flyover on Tumakuru Road (NH 4) is likely to take another week as the authorities have decided to run special tests to ensure structural stability before reopening it.
The three-km flyover was shut for traffic on December 25 after National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) officials found fault in the pre-stressed cables connecting the segments between two pillars.
Later, a detailed inspection showed that cables in eight other pillars had developed a similar problem.
NHAI regional officer M K Wathore said civil engineering experts from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have held several rounds of inspection to assess the flyover’s safety over the last week.
