Bengaluru's Shivananda Circle flyover to be completed by Aug

The steel flyover at Shivananda Circle would be ready by the end of this month. At present, 85% of the work is over on the 493m long flyover.

The construction of each girder is done. One slab is being cast, and up and down ramps are in ongoing construction. From 16 pillars, fifteen are ready.

As per some Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials, due to the shift of a 700mm water pipeline, work on the 16th pillar is delayed.

The road requires repair on each side of the flyover. After that, the flyover would be open to the public.

Gaurav Gupta, Chief commissioner BBMP, told the media that several reasons delayed flyover work, such as the sewer and water pipes shift, which took nearly three months.

In the beginning, the project was under prosecution, and afterwards, its length was increased. Its approval for the revised project costing took quite some time.

At first, the flyover was 326m long, with extended length and delay, the project is costing up to Rs 39.5 crore from Rs 19.8 crore.

Padmavathi G, Bengaluru's former mayor, accused the officers' negligence of the delay in project work. She revealed that they got sufficient funds to finish the project in time. The court has resolved the problem.
