Deadline No. 5 goes begging for Kundalahalli underpass
The much-awaited underpass project at Kundalahalli Gate on ITPL Road has missed its fifth deadline for completion.
The project, due for completion in September, is stalling due to complications over land acquisition.
It has been planned as part of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike’s ambitious signal-free corridor along Old Airport Road to permanently solve traffic bottlenecks on ITPL Main Road. It has been in construction since February 2019.
Speaking to DH, BBMP Chief Engineer (Projects) M Lokesh attributed the project’s stalling to delays in acquiring a commercial property on the site.
