As promised by chief minister DV Sadananda Gowda last week, he dedicated two hours for two days to take stock of the developmental activities in the city. On Saturday, Gowda inaugurated two grade separators and an underpass in the city.
The grade separators built at Veerannanapalya junction and Kalyan Nagar junction on Outer Ring Road are now thrown open to motorists.
Likewise, the long-delayed underpass at Tagore Circle was also dedicated for public use.
Veerannanapalya Junction grade separator was built at a cost of `36 crore while grade separator at Kalyannagar was built at a cost of `37 crore. Both projects commenced on November 9 last year. Tagore Circle underpass work, which began on October 25, 2009, is finally complete after much hue and cry at a cost of `2,586 lakh.
Gowda said that in the next two years, he would aim to create a traffic-free city. "We are building 26 flyovers in the city. Among these, 11 flyovers are under construction; eight flyovers are complete and another seven flyovers are under tender process. We are committed to the development of Bangalore," he said.
He further added that his government would take up the Outer Peripheral Road project connecting Tumkur Road and Hosur Road.
He claimed that he had decided to visit the city to monitor the developmental projects to bring about transparency in the system. Home minister R Ashoka, MP Ananth Kumar, MLAs Hemachandra Sagar and Dr Ashwathnarayan was present.
