Bengaluru to Get 40-Km Signal-Free Transit Corridor


In a major push to modernize Bengaluru’s transport infrastructure, the Karnataka Government has approved the construction of a 32.15 km double-decker flyover with a metro line along the city’s Outer Ring Road. This transformative initiative aims to ease the daily commute for thousands and provide lasting relief from the city's chronic traffic congestion.

In tandem, an additional 8 km elevated stretch will be constructed on Magadi Road as part of Namma Metro’s Phase III expansion. Together, these projects will add over 40 km of new, signal-free metro routes—making daily travel faster, safer, and more efficient.

Designed as a seamless corridor, the new alignment will integrate elevated roadways with metro lines, offering a smoother, congestion-free experience for commuters. The dual-layered infrastructure is also expected to significantly reduce travel times across some of the city’s busiest routes.

The total cost of these landmark projects is estimated at Rs 980 billion. The financial responsibility will be shared equally between the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and Namma Metro authorities.

Urban planners view the double-decker flyover as a game-changer for Bengaluru’s future. Beyond easing road congestion, the project marks a decisive step in redefining the city's public transport landscape, potentially serving as a model for other metropolitan areas grappling with similar challenges.
