BMRL cancels double-decker project in Bengaluru; shifts focus to flyovers and tunnels

The central government has given a red signal to the 44.65 km double-decker project, spanning from J.P. Nagar 4th Stage to Kemapapura and 12.8 km from Kadabigere to Hosahalli, totaling 44.65 km. Consequently, BMRL has cancelled three civil tenders related to the project. Instead, BMRL is now planning to build four flyovers and one tunnel on the Orange Line Metro route. These plans include a 1.36 km flyover near Sarakka Signal, another 1.56 km flyover connecting Kamakya, Ittamadu, and Hoskerehalli Junction, a mini flyover of about 600 meters in Sumanahalli on Magadi Road, and a 4 km flyover from Kadabigere to Herohalli. Additionally, a 2 km tunnel will be built in Goraguntepalya.
