As one of the most prominent junctions in South Bengaluru, Jayadeva junction is frequented by lakhs of commuters who go towards Bannerghatta road and Silk Board. The previous intervention which was taken up to ease the congestion here bit the dust. The multi-level metro station coming up at the junction now is expected to cut down traffic problems drastically. But when and how will this become a reality, commuters wonder.
Demolition and construction
As the junction had always remained a hotspot for traffic, Jayadeva flyover, which connected R.V. Road and Central Silk Board, was constructed to ease the snarls. However, this flyover was demolished in 2020 to make way for the road-cum- metro flyover. As the metro work kept getting delayed due to the pandemic and other reasons, the traffic problems kept increasing. Now, as the construction continues to take up space on the road, the debris from it has made the situation worse, according to local residents.
