 Bengaluru: BBMP is planning to undertake two projects to facilitate traffic in the southern part of the city.

 An integrated flyover from Krishna Rao Park to Kanakapura Road, an underpass from Banashankari Market to Sarakki Junction has been launched. Apart from this, the construction of Elevated Corridor from Minerva circle to Hudson circle is also in progress.

 There is heavy traffic at Banashankari Junction now and it will increase further in the coming days. Raghunath Naidu, who was the Congress candidate from Padmanabhanagar Assembly Constituency, requested DCM that flyovers should be constructed at five or six junctions including this junction to enable signalfree traffic.

 On this request Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar had inspected the place on August 18. He had directed the BBMP officials to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR). Accordingly, BBMP has invited tenders for the DPR of the project on September 25. There is an opportunity to submit the tender within October 3 and the tender process will be completed on October 9. DPR can be submitted within 30 days.

 BBMP engineers said that there is a plan to construct an integrated flyover from Krishna Rao Park, Tata Silk Farm Junction, Yediyuru Junction, Yediyuru Maternity Hospital Junction, JSS College Junction, Hunasemara Junction, Banashankari Temple, Kanakapura Road.

J.C. Road 'elevated corridor'!

 J.C. road 'Elevated Corridor' which was planned to be built under the amruthanagarotthan grant in the BJP government. For construction of road 'Elevated Corridor' Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has given approval on 6th September. Tenders have been called immediately and the project has been suggested to be implemented.

 Earlier there was opposition to the steel flyover. Therefore, some changes have been made in the DPR prepared earlier. A grant of ₹213 crore has been given for the 'Elevated Corridor' in the Amrita Urban Development Project, said the Planning Division Engineer.

 From Minerva Circle on J.C road an 'elevated corridor' will be constructed up to Hudson Circle. It is a two-way four-lane flyover. Minerva Circle, Bharat Talkies, Shivaji Talkies, Town Hall, LIC Head Office, Halasur Gate Police Station Junction and Hudson Circles will be signal free. This project was supposed to start in July last year.

From V.V Pura and RV Road Vehicles get over. They can get down to K.G. Road and Kasturaba Road. On other end from Nripatunga Road, vehicles get over to R.V. road to get off.

 J.C. Road flyover work was supposed to start in 2009 itself. Then the project amount was ₹86 crore. The state government had approved the scheme in 2013-14. An expenditure of ₹135 crore was approved for the steel flyover in the 2016 urban development plan. Now, the cost of the 'elevated corridor' will double.
