Residents of Kundapura in Udupi district were waited for nearly a decade for completion of the flyover on National Highway 66 at Shastri Circle. Once the flyover was completed in May, along with a vehicular underpass at Basrur Moorkai, about 1.5 km south of Shastri Circle, the residents were left cursing their fate. The two structures, with their barricaded down and up ramps, have divided the town into two and prevent people as well as vehicles from crossing to the other side for a stretch of about 2 km.
