Vishal Yadav, a regular commuter, said motorists had already endured years of delay before the flyover became operational and were now facing another problem. Officials must repair the stretch at the earliest,” he said. An NHAI official told TOI that the Bhandara-side portion of the flyover had been handed over to MahaMetro, which is now responsible for its maintenance. Acknowledging the problem, a senior MahaMetro official said temporary restoration work would be carried out, but clarified that overall maintenance and major resurfacing remain NHAI’s responsibility, as the flyover continues to be its asset.

Similarly, a loose concrete chunk fell onto an SUV in February last year, a day after NHAI opened the remaining two arms.
The first three arms — towards Itwari, Kalamna and Bhandara — opened in Sept 2023, while Manewada and Central Avenue arms opened in Feb 2025.
The flyover, popularly known as the “Kekda“ or crab flyover for its unusual five-arm configuration, has had a troubled history since work began in 2016 and was finally completed nearly nine years later. Unlike Wardha Road, where the Metro viaduct was built first, the NHAI flyover was operational before MahaMetro began constructing its elevated viaduct above it. Metro piers are being built through the gap between the two carriageways.
