Bengaluru's new Sampige Road subway to benefit daily commuters: Underground passage set to replace dangerous railway track crossing

Thousands of commuters in Bengaluru who currently cross active railway tracks to reach Sampige Road Metro station may soon have a much safer alternative. South Western Railway has announced a new pedestrian subway connecting Swatantra Palya with the Metro station, a project aimed at reducing risks for daily commuters while improving access from nearby residential areas.

As per TOI, the underground passage, estimated to cost Rs 5.5 crore, will connect neighbourhoods including Srirampura, Seshadripuram, Okalipuram and parts of Malleswaram with the Metro station without requiring pedestrians to walk across railway tracks.
