Though widespread opposition had forced the BBMP to shelve the elevated corridor project, the civic body has quietly began work to build another one on a smaller scale away from the city’s core area.
The new project has been planned for 1.4 kilometres along Doddaballapur Main Road, connecting the Yelahanka police station junction with the Yelahanka New Town BWSSB junction. NES and Seshadripuram College junctions will also be integrated with the elevated corridor.
Armed with the geo-technical investigation and detailed project reports, the BBMP has invited bids for the project, estimated to cost Rs 149 crore. BBMP sources said the corridor will be four lanes divided bi-directional and is expected to be completed in two years after the awarding of the work.
