Sitting in a traffic jam is never fun, but the next time you’re stuck in one, peek out of the window and you might just glimpse something to brighten your day. Gone are the drab, grey underbellies of flyovers; instead they are now splashed with beautiful art in all shapes and colours, as the authorities go on overdrive to transform public spaces with civic art in a R5-crore project spanning across 32 flyovers. 

Civic authorities have done away with the ‘Don’t Spit’, and ‘Don’t Drink’ signs, and are now commissioning pieces of art that not only beautify public spaces, but also tell a story. At some flyovers, the space underneath has been transformed into recreational spaces, and one can even sit on benches and enjoy a quiet moment there.
