Shivananda Circle flyover in Bengaluru to be fully operational this week: BBMP officials

The much-delayed Shivananda Circle flyover in Bengaluru is expected to be fully operational this week, according to Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials. Inaugurated last month, the 493-metre flyover was quickly shut down following complaints about design flaws that resulted in a bumpy ride for motorists.

Following this, the civic body sought the opinion of experts at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and a faulty alignment of the structure was fixed last week by removing a portion of asphalting done on the flyover.

While one part of the flyover is functional, the other side will be thrown open to the public soon, officials said.
