BBMP to start underpass work at Jalahalli junction in three months

The BBMP is preparing to begin work on an underpass in Jalahalli junction in the next three months to significantly ease traffic bottlenecks.

Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials said they have acquired 14 out of the required 49 properties, while funds have been released to buy the rest. The project is estimated to cost Rs 57 crore, with land acquisition alone set to cost close to Rs 139 crore.

“Land acquisition was the major hurdle for the project. Since the major hurdle has been cleared, we are confident of beginning work in the next two to three months,” said Nandeesh J R, Executive Engineer, BBMP.
