Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) Pre-feasibility report on Construction of elevated corridor between Central Silk Board Junction and Jayamahal Road

The project envisages developing an elevated road corridor between Central Silk Board Junction and Jayamahal Road. 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 (Central Silk Board on NH-7 to Jayamahal road) carries heavy local and commercial traffic owing to commercial developments along the corridor and development of the new international airport beyond the alignment. The proposed elevated corridor is envisaged to ease the traffic flowing between Electronic city and Hebbal and areas intersecting the corridor.
 
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 entails a stretch of 15kms from Central Silk Board on NH-7 to Jayamahal road viz Audugodi road, Vellara junction, Museum road, Mahatma Gandhi Square, Queens Square, Millers Road and Cantonment.
 
Cost Estimation
The estimated cost of the project is Rs. 1500 crores. The costs have been outlined below:
