Bengaluru East City Corporation Commissioner D.S. Ramesh on Sunday ordered officials to conduct a technical feasibility study for constructing a railway underpass connecting Alpine Eco Road to the Outer Ring Road service road to reduce congestion.
The direction was issued during joint inspections with Karthik Reddy, Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic), across major traffic bottlenecks.
At Hope Farm Junction, where underpass construction is ongoing, Mr. Ramesh directed the contractor to deploy three work shifts to speed up construction, while damaged stretches were ordered to be temporarily asphalted to facilitate smoother traffic movement.
At Marathahalli Junction, he directed officials to study the feasibility of a skywalk for pedestrians crossing from HAL Road and a free left turn for vehicles travelling from Varthur Kodi towards ORR.
The inspection also covered the congested Thubarahalli-Vibgyor School Road, where B-SMILE is preparing a detailed project report for a proposed buffer road. At Panathur S-Cross, Mr. Ramesh directed officials to submit a report on land acquisition and the feasibility of widening the road near the railway underpass. A proposal for a free left turn at the Bhoganahalli Road junction was also reviewed.
