The eight-lane corridor between Okalipuram Junction and Fountain Circle (Khoday’s Circle), the construction of which is in full swing, is likely to be delayed further due to pending installation of prefabricated concrete boxes at the junction.
The project, which connects Central Bengaluru with West Bengaluru, was supposed to be completed by December 2018 but will be delayed by six months, according to sources in the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).
The Railways has to install boxes at two locations on the stretch identified for the construction of underpasses. Currently, the boxes have to be installed beneath the Tumakuru track underpass for which traffic from Rajajinagar towards Majestic needs to be diverted. Another box to be placed beneath the Chennai track will require diversion of traffic from Majestic towards Rajajinagar and KSR railway station (Platform 6 to 10).
