Bengaluru: Foot overbridge linking Yeshwantpur metro, railway stations to come up soon to ease commuter woes

Commuters who switch modes of transport at Yeshwantpur in Bengaluru will have an easier transition as the work for a foot-overbridge (FOB) linking the metro with the railway station has been finally set in motion.

Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) officials said tenders have been invited to construct seven FOBs in the city, including in five other locations, at an estimated cost of Rs 12.15 crore.

“Bidding for the construction work is scheduled to begin on February 12. While the bridge connecting the metro and railway stations will be completed first, the second FOB is expected to take more time as it involves construction across the busy railway lines,” a senior BMRCL official said.
