The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Bengaluru Traffic Police on Tuesday announced the temporary closure of Peenya flyover (Dr. Shivakumar Swami Flyover) on Tumakuru Road.
The closure is scheduled from 11 p.m. on January 16 until 11 a.m. on January 19. This decision is part of NHAI’s measures to conduct essential repairs and retrofitting on the distressed Bengaluru Nelamangala viaduct, which is part of National Highway 4, according to the traffic police.
NHAI officials have said that the closure of the flyover is essential to carry out load tests on the 240 newly-added prestressed cables, aimed at reinforcing the structure. After the results of the load tests, the flyover could potentially be reopened to all traffic in the following days.
