Cash-strapped BBMP has abandoned constructing two underpasses proposed decades ago on Old Airport Road.
Though the grade separation work at Kundalahalli junction is almost complete, commuters are unlikely to escape the traffic nightmares anytime soon since similar works at two other junctions on the stretch is far from completion.
In its effort to create a signal-free corridor, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) had planned three underpasses on Old Airport Road (Kundalahalli, Suranjandas Road and Wind Tunnel Road) at an estimated cost of Rs 135 crore. The project, planned during Siddaramaiah’s chief ministerial tenure, was pushed to the backburner due to challenges in acquiring land, including government-owned.
