The Greater Bengaluru Corporation through its infrastructure arm – BSMILE – floated tenders to construct nine flyovers or elevated corridors across the city. These nine flyovers range from a length of a few hundred meters in Tumkur Road and Kanakapura Raod, to multiple kilometers in other parts of the city like Adugodi, the CBD and Indiranagar-Koramangala. Including an earlier tender floated by BDA for an elevated corridor and rotary flyover from UAS staff quarters to Mehkri circle, there are a total of 10 corridors planned for the city.
Based on the Detailed Project Reports (DPRs), the total cost of these corridors is expected to be Rs. 4904 Cr with the Inner Ring Road corridor expected to cost the highest at Rs. 1300 Cr, and the MEI junction flyover costing Rs. 52 Cr at the other end.
Details of the corridors
| Name | Cost (Rs. Cr) | Details |
| Intermediate Ring Road | 1300 | Starts at Swami Vivekananda Metro Station on Old Madras Road, makes its way to Indiranagar 100 ft road, follows the Intermediate Ring Road to Sony World Signal, continues along the Ejipura Road Flyover to Hosur Road, and takes left to end up near Silk Board. Existing flyovers like the ones at Domlur and the under construction Ejipura flyover are planned to be “integrated” into this corridor. |
| Minerva to Hudson Circle | 725 | This flyover is planned to extend from RV Road, just before Minerva circle and end up in a rotary flyover at Hudson Circle. There are also entry ramps planned from a. the Diagonal Road from Sajjan Rao circle, b. SJP road near Town hall where the existing BGS flyover ends The rotary flyover will have exit ramps to KG road and Kasturba Road. It will also have entry ramps from Nrupathunga road and Raja Ram Mohan Roy Road. |
| Shoolay Circle-Hosur Road | 716 | This corridor starts just before Shoolay Circle, also known as Vellara Junction, and follows Hosur road till St. John’s junction via Adugodi. |
| Mysore Road | 539 | Starts where the BGS flyover ends, just before the Gowripalya signal and ends near BHEL just before where the Nayandahalli flyover begins. (Since there is no DPR for this project, cost mentioned is as mentioned in the tender. The total cost including land acquisition etc would be close to Rs. 700 Cr) |
| Pipeline Road (Laggere) | 489 | Connects the Outer Ring Road at Laggere with West of Chord Road near Rajajinagar 1st Block. It follows the pipeline road which passes via Kurubarahalli. The topography, where the Outer Ring Road is a steep 100m below the West of Chord Road, will be a challenge for this corridor. |
| Bellary Road – Mehkri Circle | 420 | Elevated road from UAS college quarters towards Mehkri circle. Ends in a rotary flyover at Mehkri circle with exits and entries to and from Jayamahal Road and CV Raman Road. This corridor is also tendered and executed by the BDA. (Since there is no DPR for this project, cost mentioned is as mentioned in the tender. The total cost including land acquisition etc would be close to Rs. 600 Cr) |
| Konankunte | 291 | Parallel flyovers in Kanakapura Road around the Konankunte Cross Metro Station to cover the major signal at Konankunte Cross. |
| Raghuvanahalli junction | 230 | Flyover on Kanakapura Road near Adyar Ananda Bhavan for the junction at Swami Vivekananda Road towards Anjanapura. |
