Nothing to worry: BBMP’s safety audit of flyovers
A consultancy firm, engaged by the civic body to assess the safety audit of flyovers and underpasses in Bengaluru, has submitted its report stating that a total of 29 grade separators are structurally sound. The report — while recommending some minor repairs — points out that no flyover or underpass is being regularly maintained.
The BBMP had engaged Infra Support Engineering Consultants Pvt Ltd, a Bengaluru-based firm, to take up safety audit of all flyovers and underpasses in the city after a portion of the Sumanahalli flyover developed a hole in November 2019.
The civic body had earmarked Rs 5 crore for the exercise.
The consultant is yet to cover all the grade separators.
