Even as key sections of Tumakuru Road (National Highway 4) experienced nightmarish traffic on Sunday, it might see worse jams as the road right below the Goraguntepalya-Peenya flyover has been closed to facilitate the bridge’s testing.
For a month since the flyover’s closure, traffic jams have become severe on the road, putting pressure on policemen. Motorists had a taste of things to come on Sunday when the main road was closed without prior intimation.
The traffic police said the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on Sunday began load-testing works on the flyover running between Goraguntepalya and Peenya 8th Mile, prompting the closure of the main road below.
