The foot overbridge (FOB) linking the Yeshwantpur metro and railway stations may be delayed, with the BMRCL issuing a fresh tender lumping the work with the FOB projects of five other stations.
Lack of safe accessways has been a major issue since metro operations began, especially after a woman passenger died while crossing the road near the Nagasandra metro station. Thousands traversing the two stations daily at Yeshwantpur feel the absence of a footbridge, having to lumber around with their luggage.
In January, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) had invited bids to construct FOBs, including at Yeshwantpur. More than 10 months later, it scrapped the tender and issued a fresh one.
