Flyover will become redundant in a year: IISc study

The proposed flyover on Sankey Tank Road will become redundant in just a year after its launch, a study by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) said.

The flyover, which is proposed to be built by widening the road from Bhashyam Circle to Malleswaram 18th Cross, does not even qualify as a “short-term” solution, said the analysis which also warned of traffic congestion both at grade and on top of the flyover.

The analysis was presented by Dr Ashish Verma, Associate Professor of the Department of Civil Engineering (Transportation Systems) of IISc, at a programme hosted by Citizens for Sankey, a collective of residents from Malleswaram, Sadashivanagar and Vyalikaval, on Tuesday. The group was formed in opposition to the construction of the flyover.
