Five years in the works, the underpass that connects HAL Old Airport Road and Whitefield in Bengaluru is likely to be opened to the public by the end of January.
Built at a cost of Rs 19.5 crore, the 2.9m underpass on one of the major roads of the Karnataka capital has missed several deadlines. It is also among the three signal-free corridors taken up under the chief minister’s Nagarothana funds.
The underpass will help those travelling on Old Airport Road (towards and from Marathahalli). A free right turn is provided for vehicles coming from Marathahalli and entering Suranjan Das Road.
