The problem was set right on Thursday morning, said BWSSB Chief Engineer Venkataraju. Denying rumours that it had affected the underpass, he said the pipeline was about 500 metres from the underpass and the leak was a “minor” one.
There were no major traffic hold-ups on the stretch, although drivers took time to adjust to the new traffic regulations.
The rupture of a BWSSB pipeline had caused severe problems for the underpass while it was being built.
The three-day deadline set to complete the work could not be met because of this and the work got extended to 36 days.
