Elevated road to BIAL in the making
A signal-free corridor comprising a stretch of elevated expressway, four underpasses and two flyovers at a cost of Rs 600 crore will be built connecting Hebbal flyover to the Bengaluru International Airport (BIA).Officials said the Rs 600-crore project has a 24-month deadline and will allow motorists to reach the airport within 15-20 minutes from Hebbal, as against 45 minutes now. Notably, it will be the first six-lane elevated highway corridor in the city.
Currently, Bangalore has two elevated corridors — the Electronics City expressway and the Tumkur Road expressway — both of which are four-lane. The airport expressway will be built on a single pier. NHAI officials said, “Six-lane flyovers are constructed on two piers. However, with improved technology, we are set to construct it on a single pier. The advantage is it takes up less space
