03 Oct 2024 CW Team

Bengaluru's ambitious Metro Phase III project has commenced with a significant geotechnical survey, marking the beginning of an extensive infrastructure expansion worth Rs 15,611 crore. This phase aims to enhance the city’s metro network, which will grow to a total of 220 kilometers. The project is designed to improve connectivity across key areas of the city, integrating commercial hubs, educational institutions, and residential neighborhoods into the metro system.

Phase III encompasses two main elevated corridors. The first corridor stretches from JP Nagar 4th Phase to Kempapura along the Outer Ring Road, measuring approximately 32.15 kilometers with 22 stations. The second corridor extends from Hosahalli to Kadabagere along Magadi Road, covering 12.5 kilometers and comprising 9 stations. The expansion is expected to significantly benefit regions like Peenya Industrial Area, IT industries along Bannerghatta Road, and various educational institutions.

The new metro stations will feature dedicated bus bays and pedestrian pathways to ensure seamless transfers and improved last-mile connectivity. The Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) plans to extend its feeder bus services to these new stations, further facilitating commuter access.

As this critical project progresses, it promises to alleviate traffic congestion, reduce travel times, and contribute to sustainable urban development in India's Silicon Valley. With the combination of advanced infrastructure and improved transportation options, Bengaluru aims to enhance the quality of life for its residents.
