Within days of its inauguration, the newly opened flyover in Goa has drawn criticism as poorly designed curbs are causing inconvenience for motorists.
The flyover that was inaugurated in Goa just a few days ago is already facing public backlash. Motorists report that the curbs along the structure are uneven and too narrow, forcing drivers to swerve or brake abruptly. The design flaw has led to traffic snarls during peak hours and raised safety concerns among daily commuters.
Local transport officials acknowledged the complaints but said corrective work is already underway. Engineers have been dispatched to assess the curb dimensions and to install temporary barriers where needed. The authorities have promised that the remedial measures will be completed within a week to restore smooth flow.
Meanwhile, commuters are urging the municipal corporation to expedite the repairs, emphasizing that the flyover was meant to ease congestion, not create new bottlenecks. The incident underscores the importance of thorough quality checks before opening large infrastructure projects to the public.
