BENGALURU: The City will have another flyover to ease traffic movement to and from Kempegowda International Airport. It is one of the areas where the controversial steel elevated corridor was also proposed. Soon after taking charge, Urban Development Minister Byrathi Basavaraj announced the construction of a 14.2 km- long elevated corridor from Indiranagar BDA Complex to Medahali via KR Puram and Byappanahalli.
“The flyover is the need of the hour as there is a huge traffic congestion on the roads leading to the airport. People commuting on Old Madras Road and Hyderabad Link Road are worst affected due to the airport moving crowd. I am closely working on the flyover as it is in my constituency and people have also demanded it. I am proposing it to the chief minister so that it be included in the upcoming budget and that work start immediately,” he told The New Indian Express.
