The Aishbagh Railway Overbridge in Bhopal is set to open by June 15 with 95% completion, but comes with a special “bonus feature” – a nearly 90-degree curve (known as “golayi”
in local terminology) that could transform every commute into an adventure sport! Perhaps engineers decided Bhopal needed a new tourist attraction: “India’s First Rollercoaster Railway Overbridge!” Nothing says urban development quite like combining transportation infrastructure with amusement park thrills.
Local drivers are jokingly suggesting that ticket booths should be installed at the bridge entrance and “Fasten Your Seatbelts” signs before approaching the infamous curve. Some humorously propose that this peculiar sharp curve might actually be a clever traffic reduction strategy – only the most confident drivers will dare use it, while others will seek alternative routes!
Urban Development Minister Vishvas Sarang, while unhappy about the delays, must have been surprised by this creative curved design element. Rumors suggest the next city council meeting will debate whether to install airbags at the curve’s exit or simply rename the bridge “Golayi Express.” Either way, Bhopal residents should prepare for a driving experience they’ll never forget – assuming they make it around this notorious sharp curve!
