Bengaluru: Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar has instructed officials to identify locations in Bengaluru to build double-decker flyovers on which both metro rail and vehicular traffic can move, which he believes is a potent plan to unshackle the gridlocked city.
By peppering the city with double-decker flyovers, Shivakumar said he is willing to go slow on his tunnel plans.
“I have made a decision…wherever metro rail connectivity is coming up and work hasn’t started, we will have a flyover-cum-metro line. It will be like what we are doing as a pilot project at the Silk Board Junction,” Shivakumar, the Bengaluru City Development minister, said.
