Bengaluru to get four more flyovers, as Karnataka government grants Rs 404 crore to BBMP
Bengaluru is set to get four more flyovers, including one in the heart of the city, at a cost of Rs 404 crore. The funds have come from the state government’s Amruth Nagarothana scheme.
One of the flyovers will link Hudson Circle to Minerva Circle. Shelved for a long time, the project will finally see the light of day as officials earmarked Rs 20.64 crore for it, citing traffic congestion in the central business district.
Another Rs 130 crore has been set aside for a flyover that will connect Kanakapura Road and Sarakki Signal via Ilyas Nagar, Sindhoor Junction and 36th Cross along the Outer Ring Road. The flyover will be 1.2 km long, up from the earlier 430 metres. The project was delayed because of the high cost.
