Hosur Flyover Closed After Dangerous Shift Causes Traffic Disruptions
A bridge on the way to Bengaluru from Chennai had to be closed because it shifted sideways.
Engineers found the bridge was not safe to use anymore.
The bridge usually has a lot of cars and big trucks on it, and now those cars have to use other roads, which is making traffic really bad.
The bridge will be fixed after the officials take a look at it.
