Bengaluru Traffic Set for Relief as 75.6 Km Flyover Network with 11 Flyovers, Elevated Corridors Gets Nod

In a major move to ease traffic congestion in Bengaluru, the Karnataka Cabinet has approved 11 new flyovers and elevated corridors at a total cost of ₹13,262 crore. The projects, covering 75.60 km, are expected to improve connectivity across the city and reduce travel time.

The projects will be implemented by Bangalore Smart Infrastructure Ltd, a special-purpose vehicle set up for large urban works. Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister H K Patil said the plan will cover all five municipal corporations of Bengaluru.

Among the major stretches are long elevated corridors such as Yeshwantpur to KR Puram (28 km) and Ragigudda to Talaghattapura on Kanakapura Road (18.5 km). Several shorter flyovers and grade separators are also part of the plan.

According to B-SMILE Director (Technical) B S Prahallad, the corridors were finalised after a two-year study that analysed traffic movement, including origin and destination patterns.

He said the aim is to provide an end-to-end solution to improve commuting across the city.

Baiyappanahalli Project Gets Clearance

The Cabinet has also cleared a long-pending traffic project at the IOC Junction in Baiyappanahalli. A revised estimate of ₹436.44 crore has been approved for an elevated rotary flyover along with a two-lane rail overbridge.

This project is expected to improve connectivity between central Bengaluru and the northern parts of the city. An additional two-lane rail overbridge at the Baiyappanahalli level crossing has also been included.

Apart from traffic projects, the Cabinet approved an ₹85-crore biogas purification and compression project. It will process sludge from five sewage treatment plants under a public-private partnership model.

The government has also issued a revised notification to revive the Intermediate Ring Road (IRR) 2027 project, with changes to the earlier alignment.

Property Tax Exemption Approved

The Cabinet also approved property tax exemptions for government institutions such as Raj Bhavan, Kumara Krupa Guest House, Kanteerava Stadium and Koramangala Stadium.

The new flyover network will connect several key areas across Bengaluru, including Yeshwantpur, Old Madras Road, Electronic City, Sirsi Circle, Nayandahalli and Nagawara.

With these approvals, the government is aiming to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion and strengthen urban mobility in the city.
