Four elevated roads in city
Elevated roads have been proposed to ease congestion on four busy roads of the city including J.C. Road.
The
Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) budget 2014–15, presented on
Monday, has announced the construction of an elevated steel bridge from
Minerva Circle to Hudson Circle, a need long felt by motorists in south
Bangalore commuting to the central business district.
The
elevated steel bridge, along with an elevated road from Ejipura Cross
on Outer Ring Road to Kendriya Sadan in Koramangala, have already been
approved by the Union government under the Jawaharlal Nehru National
Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM).
The BBMP has also
proposed to take up construction of an elevated road from Sirsi Circle
to BHEL Circle on Mysore Road in association with Nandi Infrastructure
Corridor Enterprise (NICE), which is also implementing the Bangalore
Mysore Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC). The entry to the BMIC has been
proposed near BHEL circle.
The other elevated road
project is to be taken up from Race Course Road to railway underbridge
via Shivananda Circle. The above projects are expected to start soon.
