The country's longest flyover, PVNR elevated expressway, is unsafe for road users. This startling fact came to light when the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Warangal, conducted a study on road safety and submitted its report to the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) recently.
The report also exposed poor maintenance of the 11.71-km flyover which starts at Mehdipatnam and ends at Aramgarh junction.
The PVNR elevated expressway was opened to traffic in October 2009.
An expert team led by NIT professor Dr CSRK Prasad, who heads the transportation division of the department of civil engineering, inspected the flyover last December and submitted a detailed report, including suggesting a few remedial measures.
