Days after mid-day highlighted the presence of potholes on the Kopri rail overbridge (ROB), the craters have been filled. Central Railway (CR) has claimed that the overall structure poses no threat to commuters.

A CR official said, “The potholes and uneven surface of the cement concrete stretch on the Kopri ROB were attended to at night. Spots [potholes and cracks] were noticed on the top wearing coat [protective layer] and not in the main structural concrete. Heavy vehicles were plying at full speed during the first phase of the work. During the setting of concrete, the bond between the reinforcement and concrete may have been disturbed at isolated locations on account of vibrations. The overall structure is absolutely safe.”
