Bengaluru:

Following a public outrage over the poor condition of the Bala Gangadhara Swamy (BGS) flyover, the municipal body on Wednesday fixed the bolts that got loosened on a joint of the flyover. The bolts were protruding on Tuesday, leading the cops to place a barricade over the stretch, which affected the traffic flow.

Motorists had to wait until the traffic jam seen till Corporation Circle was cleared. The bolts have now been fixed by the corporation, and helped resume normal traffic movement. Before allowing, an examination was conducted by the executive engineer, assistant executive engineer and assistant engineer.

“There are some mechanical issues like bolts and nuts loosened outside from the joint near KR Market circle on the flyover towards outgoing, which is obstructing the movement of vehicles. Mini diversion made on the flyover. Road users, please drive carefully at this place,” M.A. Saleem, special commissioner of traffic tweeted.
