Airlink defends stadium flyover after video spreads online
A video showing a flyover in the city’s downtown district was uploaded to social media early this week and quickly attracted widespread attention. The footage, which captures a long stretch of the elevated roadway at peak traffic hours, was shared by several users who noted the sheer volume of vehicles and the apparent lack of visible safety barriers in some sections.
Reactions to the clip were mixed. While some viewers praised the engineering and praised the city’s efforts to improve traffic flow, others voiced concerns about the potential for accidents, citing the absence of guardrails and the proximity of the flyover to residential buildings. City officials have not yet released an official statement, but the Department of Transportation has confirmed that an internal review of the flyover’s structural integrity is underway.
The investigation will focus on compliance with current safety standards and the adequacy of existing protective measures. The department plans to publish a report once the assessment is complete, and it has urged residents to report any additional safety issues they may observe.
