Flyover linking Manyata, Outer Ring Road in Bengaluru opens

Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai Tuesday inaugurated an almost one kilometre-long flyover that connects the Outer Ring Road (ORR) to Embassy Manyata Business Park, which is expected to decongest the traffic on the stretch by 70 per cent.

Speaking at the event, Bommai said the flyover was necessary for a growing city like Bengaluru. “This flyover is one of the initiatives where private enterprise has eased the traffic with an expenditure of Rs 183 crore. It will help the people who work here as well as people who travel along this stretch,” he said.

Bommai said he wanted to develop the city in an “original Bengaluru” model rather than taking examples of other cities.
