A 584-metre flyover is being built on Pipeline Road. Work on seven of its 11 pillars has been completed and 40 per cent of the overall project is done, according to the GBA. Rao asked officials to coordinate with the departments concerned and speed up the remaining work.
Land acquisition pending for two underpasses
For the Jalahalli underpass, he directed officials to expedite land acquisition and start construction on the land already acquired, exploring options such as TDR and cash compensation wherever required.
The underpass on HMT Pipeline Road has been taken up and is 50 per cent complete. About 20 guntas of land are still required, and Rao asked officials to complete the acquisition and expedite the remaining construction.
