From next month, motorists coming from Mysore to Bangalore must turn left towards Vijaynagar to take the new flyover
From next month, going to Mysore from Bangalore will be easier when
compared to the return journey. Reason: The stretch between Gali
Anjaneya temple and BHEL Circle on the Mysore Road will be turned into a
one-way after the completion of the flyover built across a drain near
the temple.
Motorists coming from Mysore would have to take a left turn towards the West of Chord Road (Vijaynagar) and then right onto the flyover to head towards the satellite bus stand on Mysore Road. Motorists heading to Mysore from Vijaynagar too can't directly reach the BHEL Circle. They must take the flyover and then turn right towards Mysore Road.
Speaking to Bangalore Mirror, Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Major Road Standing Committee chairman Sridhar Reddy said, “This is a long-pending project which has seen many hurdles. During the rainy season, drain water used to enter the Anjaneya temple.”

Speaking to Bangalore Mirror, Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Major Road Standing Committee chairman Sridhar Reddy said, “This is a long-pending project which has seen many hurdles. During the rainy season, drain water used to enter the Anjaneya temple.”
He said work on the project has been taken up on a war-footing for the past two months.
“Hardly 10 per cent of the work is pending on the project, which is expected to be completed by this month-end,” he said, adding that traffic will be allowed on the flyover from
the first week of July.
BBMP engineer-in-chief B T Ramesh said, “The work is on 24/7 for the past two weeks. It is a major stretch connecting Vijaynagar and Mysore Road. The stretch, from Gali Anjaneya temple to BHEL Circle, will be declared a one-way.”
Work on the project, which was taken up in 2006, was estimated to cost around Rs 18 crore, which was then increased to Rs 20 crore. “The delay in execution has made the BBMP revise the estimate to Rs 25 crore,” he said.
The standing committee members also inspected work on Mysore Road, which has been delayed. It was brought to the notice of Sridhar Reddy that Bescom and BWSSB were delaying in shifting the utilities, for which the BBMP had paid them a year ago.
Reddy directed his officials to ask the two agencies to ensure that work is completed on priority.
