The reason for the section of the height barrier getting dislocated is yet to be ascertained. According to eyewitnesses, the incident took place when a vehicle accidentally rammed into the height-barrier installed below the King Circle railway bridge.
Although no casualties were reported, traffic on both sides of the road was affected during the peak hours. The Sion flyover, which connects the Eastern Express Highway may face traffic woes as it is undergoing repair work.
