To provide relief to the commuters travelling towards Rajajinagar and Malleswaram from the busy Majestic area, the state government has approved the eight-lane signal free corridor between Okalipuram and Khoday's Circle.
Law and Parliamentary Affairs minister S Suresh Kumar on Friday declared that his long cherished dream had come true with the state cabinet's approval. Describing the project as the most complicated of all civic works in the city, he said that it is being implemented in coordination with railway department, BBMP and BESCOM.
The cost of the project is ‘115 crore, out of which ‘102 crore is for civic work, he maintained. The work will be completed in 24 months. It will include two underpasses and a loop from city railway station. "The corridor will be 700 to 800 metres long. It will be like Hebbal flyover,"Suresh Kumar explained.
He said though the project was conceived long ago, no company came forward to take the bid as the work was complex. This time, two companies have expressed interest and the lowest bidder was given the chance.
