But it has to be rectified soon," he said, Saturday.Junz said a survey conducted on the flyover showed there was no drainage which explained why excess water could not be contained and properly disposed of.He urged the relevant authorities, including Public Works Department as well as the project consultant, to review the design of the flyover and make the necessary amendments.
