Bengaluru Cabinet Approves Tunnel Road and Sky Deck Project

27 Aug 2024 CW Team

Bengaluru?s Cabinet has approved a major urban development project featuring a tunnel road and a sky deck. This initiative aims to alleviate traffic congestion and improve the city's infrastructure.

The project will include the construction of an underground tunnel to streamline traffic flow and reduce surface road congestion. Additionally, a sky deck will be developed to provide elevated green spaces and recreational areas, enhancing urban aesthetics and livability.

Expected to be a significant boost to Bengaluru?s infrastructure, the tunnel road will ease the movement of vehicles across key areas, while the sky deck will offer residents new spaces for leisure and relaxation. This dual approach is set to address both transportation challenges and urban space utilisation, making the city more pedestrian-friendly and environmentally sustainable.

The initiative aligns with the city?s broader goals of modernising its infrastructure and improving quality of life for its residents. The project is anticipated to start soon, with detailed planning and construction phases outlined to ensure timely completion.
