Butibori Flyover Reopens After Five Months of Repairs
Imagine a bridge that helps cars go over a road.
This bridge in Nagpur, India, had a problem when a really heavy truck drove on it, causing a part of it to break.
It was closed for five months while engineers from VNIT checked it and fixed it.
They made it stronger by adding steel and fixing the broken part.
The people in charge, NHAI, made sure it was safe.
Now, the bridge is open again, and people can drive on it, which makes it easier to get around.
Butibori flyover in Nagpur reopened after a five-month closure.
The flyover was closed due to a span caving in caused by an overloaded heavy vehicle.
VNIT conducted a load-bearing test before the reopening.
Outermost lanes are temporarily closed for markings.
NHAI is taking steps to prevent heavy vehicles from using the flyover.
