2 days after start, one lane of Pardi flyover shut due to waterlogging

Nagpur: Within two days of being thrown open for traffic, the Pardi flyover witnessed logging of rainwater. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has closed one way of the flyover for traffic to rectify the problem.
An NHAI official told TOI that water logging was reported between HB Town square and forest naka towards Bhandara. “The storm water drain network is in place on the flyover. However, some outlets got choked due to tarring. Therefore, we had to close one way for traffic on Thursday morning. Traffic will resume on Sunday morning,” he said.

2 days after opening, Pardi flyover shut one way due to waterlogging

The Pardi flyover in Nagpur, which recently opened to traffic after a seven-year delay, has experienced water logging issues. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has closed one lane of the flyover to rectify the problem, causing confusion and traffic congestion. The NHAI stated that such diversions may be expected until all pending works are completed. The remaining works, including a railway over bridge and under bridge, and a market, have a deadline of January 26, 2024, set by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari.
