13 Jan 2023 CW Team
The flyover connecting Ejipura Main Road and Kendriya Sadan in Koramangala, Bengaluru, is now
under construction. The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has reissued a tender for it,
worth INR 1.44 billion. The tender for the 2.5 kilometre flyover, which had been given to Simplex
Infrastructure, had been annulled by the Karnataka government in March 2022 as a result of a high
court order. After a thorough evaluation, a fresh tender has been released to hire a different
company to finish the unfinished work. The construction of a flyover to reduce traffic in the
Koramangala region was contracted for in 2017, however due to delays, only some of the work was
completed. In 2022, the Urban Development Department ordered the BBMP to issue a new tender
at a project cost of INR 2.04 billion in accordance with the requirements of the Karnataka
Transparency in Public Procurement Act. But for technical reasons, the contract was not granted.
