Load test on structure completed satisfactorily
With load test for the rebuilt four-lane flyover at Palarivattom Bypass Junction completed satisfactorily, the structure will be opened to motorists on March 7 evening by the Chief Engineer of PWD (NH wing), Minister for Public Works G. Sudhakaran said in a press release.
There will be no official function. Mr. Sudhakaran would, however, visit the flyover.
The government had decided to rebuild the flyover, which had developed cracks within two years of its inauguration in 2016, as it would ensure a 100-year lifespan for the structure. Technical experts led by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation’s (DMRC) Principal Adviser E. Sreedharan had suggested reconstruction of the cracked components (mainly its pier caps and girders) to ensure its longevity.
