Bengaluru’s KR Puram junction to breathe easy with wider road, FOB
Passengers will soon find it easier to switch between railway and metro stations at the chaotic KR Puram intersection in eastern Bengaluru.
By April-end, Namma Metro hopes to get 3,600 square metres of land from the railways to widen the road and build a foot overbridge linking the metro and railway stations, officials said.
The South Western Railway (SWR) has agreed to give Namma Metro 3,600 square metres in the parking lot near Platform No 4 of the KR Puram railway station.
Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) will use about 200 square metres to build the FOB landing and the rest to widen Old Madras Road from Tin Factory to KR Puram.
