“The deadline to complete the flyover was earlier by October 23 so the sufferings of commuters may continue for some time. Traffic flow will be normal after completion,” said a state PWD official overseeing the construction. The bridge constructed with overall project cost of Rs 420.75 crore, missed expected inauguration in mid-April.
Previously, the Assam Chief Minister had visited the construction site to assess progress and assure timely completion.
