Eight demolition machines and a 400-ton crane were used.
Initially, the work proceeded with the mechanical demolition: :
while four demolition machines, equipped with pneumatic hammers, demolished the flyover slab, while the other four, equipped with hydraulic pliers and
crushers, removed the reinforcement steel.
After this phase, the flyover beams were placed on the ground by the crane.
During the entire work, a tarpaulin covering was set up to prevent any debris from falling onto the pavement.
