Flyover sinks in Gurgaon, traffic hit

A section of the newly-built flyover on the Delhi-Jaipur-Mumbai highway here again sank a few feet on Wednesday, said an official. A police officer blamed it on poor quality construction.

The incident took place near Rampura. The contractor enforced diversions on the highway, affecting movement of traffic.

"We have asked the contractor to put up proper signs on the damaged stretch to avoid any accident at night," a traffic police officer said.

An official of Pink City Expressway Pvt Ltd told IANS that bitumen at two stretches of the flyover was damaged due to leakage of diesel from a vehicle.

"We have diverted traffic and put up signs to avoid accidents," he said. "We will repair the stretch in a day or two."

The flyover became functional nearly four months back.

A villager said it was the second time in two months that a section of the flyover had been damaged. A police officer who did not want to be identified blamed it on the low quality construction material.
