The Silk Board junction, one of the most busiest intersections in India, might soon lose the infamous tag.
On June 21, the first step was taken to end the traffic nightmarish section of Outer Ring Road and Hosur Road. Today, vehicle users have to wait for up to 45 minutes sometimes just to cross the signal junction.
Renaatus Projects is given the tender by The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) to build 2.8 kilometre flyover over the existing flyover. The Rs 134-crore project will greatly help commuters from HSR Layout, BTM Layout and Electronic City.
Estimated to be completed in 2022, this junction will also have two Metro lines passing through it: Bommasandra-RV Road and Silk Board-KR Puram-Airport.
