Double-decker flyover in Pune promises traffic relief

The long-awaited integrated double-decker flyover at the busy junction near Savitribai Phule Pune University was opened to the public on Sunday.  The project is expected to significantly reduce traffic congestion on the University Road corridor connecting Baner, Aundh, Pashan and Shivajinagar.

Caught in a Limbo: Unfinished ramps delay full benefits of double-decker flyover, rotary flyover at Baiyappanahalli fails to take off

Caught in a Limbo: Unfinished ramps delay full benefits of double-decker flyover, rotary flyover at Baiyappanahalli fails to take off

: Despite the commissioning of Namma Metro’s Yellow Line, large sections of the double-decker flyover that runs alongside the elevated corridor remain incomplete, continuing to test the patience of thousands of daily commuters. In particular, the 1.37-km stretch of ramps connecting HSR Layout with Ragigudda and BTM Layout is still under construction, rendering a critical portion of the flyover unusable. Officials have now said that the pending work is unlikely to be completed before January 2026. Constructed by Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) at an estimated cost of ₹449 crore, the 5.12-km-double-decker flyover was conceived as a major intervention to decongest Central Silk Board junction, one of Bengaluru’s busiest traffic choke points. The primary signal-free corridor linking Ragigudda to the Silk Board junction was opened in July 2024. However, nearly one-and -a-half years later, the unfinished ramps continue to be ineffective. The prolonged delay has drawn sharp criticism from regular commuters, many of whom say the flyover has fallen short of expectations. Ramkumar S., a resident of BTM Layout who travels daily to his …

Delay Hits South India’s First Double-Decker Flyover as Locals Use Unopened Stretch for Jogging. (Representative Image) South India is set to get its first double-decker flyover, but commuters on the busy HSR Layout–Electronics City corridor will have to wait a little longer. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) has postponed the opening of the second arm of the Ragigudda double-decker flyover to the end of January 2026. The delay has come as a surprise to many, as the flyover has looked complete and ready for use for nearly a month. Earlier, BMRCL had committed to opening the second arm by December 2025. The flyover project, which stretches for about 5 km, has been built at a cost of Rs 449 crore. While one arm, connecting Ragigudda to HSR Layout, has been operational since July 2024 and has eased congestion at the busy Silk Board junction, the reverse arm from HSR Layout and Electronics City towards Ragigudda …

Zero bids for double-decker KR Puram-Nayandahalli tunnel road DPR preparation, BBMP extends deadline to March 11 | Bangalore News

After a botched Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the vehicular tunnel connecting Hebbal and Silkboard junction in Bengaluru city, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is now scrambling to onboard a consultancy firm for preparing the DPR for its double-decker vehicular tunnel connecting KR Puram and Nayandahalli. Due to a lack of response from interested bidders, the civic agency has now pushed the deadline to March 11 for the firms to submit their bids for preparing DPR for the 28 km tunnel road project. The BBMP had first floated tenders for the double-decker tunnel project on January 25. After it failed to secure any interest from the consultancy firms, the civic body invited bids for the second time on February 15.

Double-decker flyover eases Silk Board traffic but sparks new congestion issues in surrounding areas

The traffic jams on the Silk Board Junction in Bengaluru have been the stuff of urban folklore, spawning multiple memes and jokes. But the opening of the much-awaited double-decker flyover, stretching 5.1 km from the upcoming Ragigudda metro station to Central Silk Board, has indeed partially eased traffic at the Silk Board stretch. However, several diversions made by the traffic police to make the flyover easily accessible have led to increased traffic in the surrounding areas. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) constructed the flyover at a cost of ₹449 crore to alleviate the infamous traffic bottleneck at the Central Silk Board junction. It was meant to offer a smoother and quicker route for commuters heading towards K.R. Puram and Hosur Road, potentially cutting travel time by over 30%. Early in August, during a visit to the stretch by The Hindu, it was observed that only vehicles from Ragigudda were using the flyover, and a significant amount of traffic that comes from BTM Layout, J.P. Nagar, and Bannerghatta Road continued to congest the roads below. …
