The proposed new North-South line between
Gottigere-Nagavara under Namma Metro Phase II will offer greater
connectivity as it will have two points of integration with metro lines
and one point each with city bus service and the railways.
While
the two metro integration points are proposed near Jayadeva Hospital
and Mahatma Gandhi Road, the integration with BMTC bus-station is
planned at Shivajinagar and with the railways at the Cantonment Railway
Station.
Originating at Gottigere as an elevated
corridor, the line passes through Hulimavu station and traverses on the
median of Bannerghatta Road in front of IIMB, where the IIMB Station
will be located.
The alignment
From
IIMB, the line touches J.P. Nagar IV Phase, BTM Layout and crosses the
flyover at Marenahalli at higher level near Jayadeva Hospital. The
alignment crosses another proposed line between R.V. Road Terminal (of
the North-South Corridor of Namma Metro Phase I) and Bommasandra here at
a higher level. Both the stations on these lines will be
interconnected.
Continuing as an elevated line, the alignment will go underground from the Fire Brigade area on Bannerghatta Road till Nagavara.
Mahatma Gandhi Road
The
underground alignment passes by the side of Mico. Crossing Richmond
Road at Vellara, it goes beneath Brigade Road. The Mahatma Gandhi Road
underground station will be located close to the elevated station. The
new underground and elevated stations will be connected through
escalators and stairs.
The alignment then crosses Cubbon Road to reach Shivajinagar.
The
Shivajinagar metro station is planned at Shivajinagar Stadium, which
will have connectivity with the BMTC terminal. The alignment then moves
below Queen's Road to reach the parking area in front of Cantonment
Railway Station, where the Cantonment Station is planned. Both the metro
and Railway stations will be integrated at this point.
Moving
beneath the railway line, metro line goes to Millers Road, Nandidurg
Road and traverses below Benson Town to reach Pottery Town open ground
where the Pottery Town underground metro station is planned.
The alignment then moves below Tannery Road, crosses Salem Railway line and then Outer Ring Road to reach Nagavara.
