2025, a newly built railway overpass in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, India, caused concern among local people because of its nearly 90-degree L-turn design, which raised doubts that the design would make the overpass an accident-prone place. Verma, chief engineer of the Indian Public Works Department of Madhya Pradesh, a project participant, said that the construction of a new subway station nearby occupied a large amount of land, resulting in extremely limited space available for the overpass. Agarwal, a spokesman for the Indian Railway Corporation, said that the railway company had been actively coordinating with the construction units for a long time, and had repeatedly expressed concern about the direction of the line, clearly pointing out the design defects of the overpass. On June 25,
2025, under the pressure of public opinion, the local government has officially announced that it will redesign the overpass and launch a special investigation to thoroughly investigate the reasons why the design scheme was adopted. The investigation team is considering ways to ensure the road safety of the overpass by installing deceleration devices, reflectors, speed limit signs and new street lights.
