Rayagada’s lone flyover in tatters
Orissa POST
|May 06, 2025
Inaugurated in 1999, the structure now poses serious risks for commuters, with gaping potholes and crumbling guardrails owing to years of neglect and poor maintenance
The only flyover in Rayagada town, which sits on National Highway 326 and serves as a crucial lifeline connecting the district with neighbouring states like Andhra Pradesh, is in a dilapidated condition due to lack of proper upkeep.
Inaugurated in 1999 by then Chief Minister Giridhar Gamang, the flyover initially remained under the jurisdiction of the Works department before being transferred to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) in 2018. While a minor repair was carried out in 2019 at a cost of ₹21 lakh—including maintenance of the flyover and the nearby Nagavali river bridge in JK Pur—no regular maintenance has been taken up ever since.
