Fresh design scrutiny delays Kanaka Durga flyover project

The delay in completion of the much-awaited Kanaka Durga flyover is because the project design was put under fresh and a detailed scrutiny. The six-lane flyover, being built at Rs 447 crore, initially designed by AECOM, was sent to a proof-reading consultant, which, in turn, sent it to a safety consultant, who studied key aspects like vehicular and structural safety besides ensuring that it resist natural calamities like earthquakes. The plan was then assessed by engineers of Soma Enterprise, a company which develops core infrastructure projects. Further, the engineers submitted the plan to a technical authority consultant working under National Highways.
