Hyderabad:\u00a0<\/strong>Less than a year after the inauguration of the parallel Road Over Bridge (RoB) at Falaknuma, a large pothole has developed on the bridge, posing a serious threat to motorists and raising questions over the quality of construction.<\/p>\n

The bridge, inaugurated on October 3, 2025, was built to ease traffic congestion between Chandrayangutta and Charminar. However, commuters say the appearance of a large pothole within such a short period reflects poor workmanship and inadequate maintenance.<\/p>\n

The pothole, located on the carriageway, has become a nightmare for motorists, particularly two-wheeler riders. As vehicles usually gather speed while climbing the bridge, many riders fail to notice the damaged stretch until the last moment, increasing the risk of accidents.<\/p>\n

“This bridge is not even a year old, yet such a huge pothole has appeared. It makes us wonder about the quality and standard of the construction work. Huge amount of public money has been spent, but the results are disappointing,” said Mohammed Abdul Rahman, a resident of Falaknuma.<\/p>\n

Another commuter, Syed Imran Ali, questioned the durability of the project. “A bridge built with crores of rupees should last for decades, not develop potholes within months. The authorities should fix the problem immediately and investigate whether proper construction standards were followed,” he said.<\/p>\n

Motorists also expressed concern over the danger during night hours when visibility is poor.<\/p>\n

“At night, riders may not notice the pothole while approaching the bridge at normal speed. If a two-wheeler suddenly hits it, the rider can easily lose balance and fall onto the road, leading to serious injuries or even fatal accidents,” warned K. Ramesh, a daily commuter.<\/p>\n

Residents have urged the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) to repair the pothole on a war footing and conduct a comprehensive inspection of the bridge to prevent further deterioration and ensure the safety of commuters.<\/p>\n
