600 long and 20 meters wide, the construction for the pumpwell flyover began in 2010 and did not take up pace for first six years. And in last few years missed several deadlines of completion. Last year in November MP Nalin Kumar Kateel asserted that the flyover will be inaugurated on January 1, calling for trolls and memes on social media.
In the last couple of months the construction work was fastened after it was halted during monsoon.
