Portion of under-construction flyover collapses in Gurgaon, 2 injured

A section of an “elevated road” being constructed on Gurgaon’s Sohna road collapsed on Saturday night, with officials saying there were no casualties in the incident.

According to police, the incident took place around 10 pm. Officials from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) said they were still trying to determine the reason for the collapse.

“The span of that section of the road had already been laid and completed; the casting and stressing had also been completed. We will have to investigate this to find out why it happened. Maybe there was overstressing or understressing of the stretch, but it is too early to say anything decisive on this,” said an official from NHAI, adding that the structure fell within the barricaded section of the under-construction project.
