Bengaluru, January 8: Bengaluru is all set to get its first double-decker flyover by June after missing the October 2021 deadline. The lower deck of the double-decker flyover will be used by vehicles and the top deck will be used by Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL).
Chavan said, “Of the 3.3km road bridge, only around 1 km of work is pending. It will be completed by June 2022.”
A BMRCL official said, “The important and complex activity of the double-decker facility is launching and fixing wings to the spine segment of the road-level flyover.’’ Officials said Central Silk Board will get two Metro stations which will be connected by a travelator.
“There will be two different stations at CSB. The distance between these two is 355 metres and the plan is to connect the stations by travelator,” said BMRCL chief public relations officer BL Yashwanth Chavan. Two Metro lines: RVRoad-Bommasandra and Central Silk Board-KR Puram will criss-cross at the CSB junction.
