The first major mishap during project execution happened in August, 2020, two years into the project after construction started in 2018. Late in the evening on Saturday 22 August 2020, a section of the under-construction flyover came crashing down. The cause of this collapse was attributed to the caving in of three recently installed girders between two pillars.

The accident spot is close to the Vipul Greens residential apartment complex on Sohna Road and is located in a high-traffic zone. However, owing to partial lock-down measures enforced by the state government in Haryana, many businesses and leisure outlets were closed at that time. This helped in avoiding fatalities and in keeping the casualty figure low. According to local police sources, two labourers suffered minor injuries and there were no injuries among pedestrians or people in passing vehicles.[2]
