‘No design flaw’: BBMP to reopen Sivananda Circle flyover next week

The Sivananda Circle flyover, which was partially shut within a week of inauguration last month, doesn’t have any design flaws and is likely to be fully reopened in the coming days, the BBMP said.

The 493-metre-long steel flyover, built amid stiff opposition from local residents and traders, was several years late when the BBMP opened it on August 15. But within days, it had to be partially shut due to shoddy construction as vehicle users complained of bumpy rides.

An embarrassed BBMP sought expert opinion from researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) about the durability of the flyover.
