BBMP to white-top road where metro is awaited
The BBMP has started groundwork for white-topping nearly a kilometre of stretch in Nagarbhavi where the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) has proposed to build an elevated metro corridor. The BBMP’s work is likely to disrupt traffic and partly render it useless because the road median will get dug up to build metro pillars.
The BBMP’s project in question is the comprehensive development of Nagarbhavi 80 Feet Road from the Outer Ring Road to Kengunte Circle along with white-topping of the main carriageway at an estimated cost of Rs 17.5 crore. The civic body had earmarked the amount under the Chief Minister’s Nava Nagarothana programme for undertaking the project. The revised cost is not known.
