The flyover mission grew to become a part of the Section 2A tender, awarded in July 2021, marking a major milestone.
There’ll quickly be a major respite from the congestion at Bengaluru’s Central Silk Board junction.
The three.3-kilometer highway from Ragigudda to Central Silk Board is anticipated to open quickly, in line with the Bangalore Metro Rail Company Restricted (BMRCL). By the top of Could, three out of the 5 ramps that make up the flyover, which runs from Ragigudda to Central Silk Board, are anticipated to be full, as per Deccan Herald.
The BMRCL is setting up the flyover in two phases. Based on BMRCL officers, the primary three ramps, labelled A by E, connecting Jayadeva to Hosur Highway and KR Puram, can be accomplished by the top of Could, the report added.
“The ramps D and E, which can carry site visitors from KR Puram to BTM Format and Ragigudda, can be accomplished by December. This can run parallel to the ORR metro line,” a senior BMRCL official was quoted as saying by Deccan Herald.
The development of the 17.13-km Blue Line part from Silk Board to KR Puram on the Outer Ring Highway was delayed regardless that the central authorities accepted the Detailed Mission Report (DPR) for this line beneath Section 2A (Outer Ring Highway to the Central Silk Board Line) in 2017. This was as a result of no tenders had been awarded for the following few years.
The flyover mission was included within the Section 2A tender that was granted in July 2021. Officers from BMRCL mentioned that the civil works will value Rs 497.77 crore in complete. As there was no break up within the rail and highway works contract, constructing the rail and highway viaducts was lined by a single tender. Just a few examples of the parts included on this intensive scope embrace two units of bearings, highway and rail piers, piles and pile caps.
In the meantime, Metro officers estimate that when the route is operational, commuters’ journey instances by Silk Board can be lowered by round 10 minutes on a mean.
That is helpful as a result of the Silk Board is ceaselessly crowded, particularly within the morning and night. “This could carry site visitors congestion down by about 40 per cent,” Shiva Prakash Devaraju, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Site visitors), mentioned.
