When power is in the hands of corrupt governments, when plans are made by incompetent planners who are confined to books, and when engineers earn degrees not by merit but by donation, you get disasters instead of bridges. The 90-degree turn is an invitation for accidents.' advertisement Another user, Mukesh, wrote, 'Death will arrive at a 90-degree angle. This is the angle of development that has emerged in the capital city of Madhya Pradesh. Rs 18 crore has been spent on the bridge.'Officials involved in the project, however, have defended the design, citing logistical constraints. Chief Engineer of the Public Works Department (Bridge Department), VD Verma, explained to the news agency PTI, 'Due to the metro station, there is limited availability of land at the point. Due to the lack of land, there was no other option. The purpose of the RoB is to connect the two colonies."He also noted that only small vehicles will be permitted to use the overbridge, and that operations will follow safety protocols and vehicle speed regulations as per the Indian Road Congress. 'It will be operated with full safety,' he Minister Rakesh Singh, when asked about the issue, remarked, 'After a bridge is built, experts suddenly appear and say such things.

Bhopal's 90-Degree Railway Bridge Reminds Everyone Of Temple Run Game, Here's Why
Last Updated: A railway overbridge (RoB) constructed in Bhopal with a strange 90-degree turn has left social media users baffled. A photo of a railway overbridge (RoB) constructed in Bhopal has gone viral on social media because of a unique yet dangerous feature – its 90-degree sharp turn. Constructed near Aishbagh Stadium, the bridge's dangerous turn may not have been an oversight. The officials associated with the construction of the railway overbridge cited the lack of land in the area and the presence of a nearby metro rail station, a report in PTI stated. That the sharp angle wasn't an engineering fault but a design choice. 'Due to the metro station, there is limited availability of land at the point. Due to the lack of land, there was no other option. The purpose of the RoB is to connect the two colonies." Only small vehicles will run on this overbridge, he said, adding that heavy vehicles will not be allowed to use it. 'It will be operated with full safety and the speed of vehicles as per the instructions of the Indian Road Congress," PTI quoted Public Works Department (Bridge Department) Chief Engineer V D Verma as saying. Built at a reported cost of Rs 18 crore, the bridge is yet to be operational for the public. A photo of the odd structure soon circulated on social media platform 'X' with many raising concerns regarding the 90-degree turn and it could potentially be dangerous for motorists. People also hilariously compared the bridge to the popular Temple Run game. The bridge reminded folks on the Internet of a clock tower built in Bihar that made national headlines earlier this year. This shabbily painted, poorly finished, concrete clock tower in Bihar Sharif, built under 'Smart City' project, had its clock stop working within 24 hours of the production cost? Only ₹40 lakh! Just 40 lakhs for this architectural marvel! Hats off! — THE SKIN DOCTOR (@theskindoctor13) April 6, 2025 The clock tower built in Bihar Sharif was made functional in a haste during Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's Pragati Yatra, a report in Dainik Bhaskar stated. However, in a day's time after its setup, the clock stopped ticking. It is said that thieves barged into the structure to steal copper wires. The tower stood lifeless thereafter. The time it displayed (as seen in widely-circulated photos) twice a day was 4:20. Life plans made how life turns out 😂 #ClockTower — Manda Bendre 🇮🇳 (@mabend2) April 7, 2025 Close-up shots of the clock tower showed a lack of workmanship with no intricate design. It was rough around the edges and the incomplete concrete frame was painted in white. Others dug up photos of what the clock tower was destined to look like in its final form, which was far from reality.
