70% of work on metro elevated corridor on Bannerghatta Road still pending

Motorists using Bannerghatta Road, where metro work is currently under way, will get some relief from congestion. Given the inordinate delays and missed deadlines,  Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has asked the contractor to remove barricades on the stretch wherever the viaduct work is completed. This will help address traffic snarls especially during peak commuting hours. 

The construction of the elevated corridor on Bannerghatta Road is part of the 21-km Pink Line metro from Kalena Agrahara to Nagawara, which includes an underground stretch as well (Dairy Circle to Nagawara).

More than four years ago, BMRCL had awarded a contract to Simplex Infrastructure to construct an elevated corridor from Kalena Agrahara to Swagath Cross Road.
