I-Day opening planned for Shivananda Circle steel bridge

BENGALURU: After nearly five years, the much-awaited steel bridge project at Shivananda Circle is all set to open likely on August 15. The project was delayed due to a PIL by locals stating that there was no consultation, and termed it unnecessary. But the Supreme Court dismissed the petition in 2018 and the BBMP’s work was gaining tempo and it is now nearing completion. Speaking to TNSE Chief Engineer for BBMP project Lokesh M said the bridge length was supposes to be more than 550 m and after consultation with IISc experts, it was decided that the length would be 493 m.
