Why the hell are they putting a massive bridge down such a narrow street?
Its common practice now in congested areas of the world it simply gets rid of T – junctions Buy allowing traffic to flow over other crossing traffic.
Because they can.
The bigger question is why didn’t they close off the area during construction?!
Not this time.
It’s common practice for 3rd. world countries to put up these ‘jerry built’ constructions, like many of the shit housing developments here.
The obvious fault is the crumby Steel that was used. It’s twisted and crumpled like paper. Probably the Steel workers were getting kickbacks…. The weight of the poured concrete was just too much.

I’ve been to India many times. I doubt there are any building regulations. If I want build a small extension in the uk there are hoops to jump through. It is checked by the council, I have to make changes, meet standards, resubmit plans etc…it’s frustrating but when you see stories like this perhaps those strict regulations are there for very good reason. Getting things done cheap might help rapid progress but it has consequences.
