The government has diverted Rs 99 crore allotted to build two flyovers in Ittamadu junction and Sarakki signal to carryout 35 minor works.
In a rare move ahead of the Assembly elections, it approved the change of works on the request of Padmanabha Nagar MLA R Ashoka.
The Rs 99-crore allocation was part of the Rs 170 crore sanctioned last June to build flyovers at Sarakki junction and Ittamadu junction. The plan was welcomed as the two junctions had been a major bottleneck for South Bengaluru residents commuting to the eastern and northern parts of the city.
