BBMP stops construction of Kerekodi junction flyover

The construction of a flyover at Kerekodi junction on the Outer Ring Road (ORR) has been put on hold after the BMRCL apprised the BBMP of its plans to expand the metro line on the stretch.

The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has decided to either continue the civil work or shelve the project based on the feedback provided by the metro officials.

Interestingly, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has now said this flyover does not cause any issues to the metro alignment.

Almost a month ago, the BBMP had barricaded the main carriageway between NICE Road junction and PES University (Veerabhadra Nagar signal) to build a 360-metre, four-lane flyover at a cost of Rs 20 crore.
