Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) Pre-feasibility report on Construction of elevated corridor between Benniganahalli and Mekhri Circle

The project envisages developing an elevated road corridor between Benaganahalli and Mekhri Circle. The alignment will largely follow the existing roads connecting the two points and will act as an alternate means of transit between the two points. The identified alignment (Benniganahalli to Mekhri circle) is characterized by mixed land-use development on either side and caters to traffic flow from the city towards the new international airport.

Components of the Project
The construction of elevated corridor along the identified alignment will include the following:
• Widening of roads,
• Improvement of junctions,
• Pavement improvement
• Provision and relocation of concealed drainage under the pavements on either side of the roads
• Upgrade of 4 lane carriageways
• Overlay treatment
• Provision of crash barriers
• Road and overhead signage

The proposed Elevated corridor from  Beniganahalli to Mekhri circle entails a stretch of 15k connecting the new airport road on National Highway 4 (NH4). The elevated corridor is proposed to connect Beniganahalli (A) to Mekhri circle (F) via Dickenson’s road (B), Wheelers road (C), Cantonment (D) and T. V. Tower (E). 

Cost Estimation
The estimated cost of the project is Rs. 1500 crores. The costs have been outlined below:
