8-Lane Signal-Free Corridor To Be Inaugurated Soon

As mentioned earlier, a new eight-lane signal-free corridor will soon be inaugurated in Bengaluru city and that will definitely beat the traffic woes. This corridor is being made by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike and the cost of this corridor is Rs102-crore.

Rs 156 crore has been paid to the Railway department for land acquisition and four concrete boxes were constructed under the Tumakuru-Bengaluru Railway line. An official said, “The work on the underbridge at Chennai-Bengaluru railway line at Okalipuram is challenging as the route is more busy compared to other tracks due to trains to Chennai/Bengaluru. The box installation work and other civil works take place only between 12.30 am and 4 am.”

A senior engineer further added, “The Palike also constructed a flyover to connect the entry and exit to the old railway station and the signal-free route is helping the commuters reach the station on time even during peak hours.”
