In a bid to modify the signal-free corridor project between Mysuru Road and Bannerghatta Road, the BBMP has scrapped the plan to build two underpasses and has sought to invest the same money on a one-km flyover which will cost Rs 82 crore more.
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has sent a proposal to the government in this regard. The flyover between Ittamadu and Kamakhya Junction along the outer ring road (ORR) will replace the proposed underpasses at Foodworld and Jedi Mara junctions.
The proposed 1-km long flyover will cost Rs 125 crore and will allow commuters between Bannerghatta Road and Mysuru Road to escape traffic signals on both sides with a 15-metre-wide carriageway.
