Steel Girders Installed as Silk Board Double-Decker Flyover Targets Year-End Opening

Traffic police say signals at the junction will continue because many movements stay at ground level.

Despite the opening of Bengaluru's double-decker flyover, ground-level congestion will remain, said traffic officials.

Overview

  • BMRCL has begun placing steel girders to connect HSR Layout with BTM Layout over the Silk Board bottleneck.
  • Officials now aim to open the final stretch by December 2025, with early 2026 as a fallback if work slips.
  • A 42-metre segment switched from prestressed concrete to a steel girder to resolve a turning-radius constraint toward Electronics City.
  • The schedule slipped from a planned September opening due to heavy surface traffic, limited night work windows, and design changes.
  • A 5.5 km section from Ragigudda to Silk Board opened in November 2024, easing one direction of traffic, while commuters still report poor pedestrian links at the Silk Board Metro station.
