Bengaluru Development Minister K J George has said that the state government would start construction of the steel bridge between Basaveshwara Circle and Hebbal in Bengaluru soon after the National Green Tribunal (NGT) vacates the stay.
"Given that there are various components to the project, the government hopes to start the project work at the earliest" he said.
In his reply to the question raised by BJP MLC Ganesh Karnik in the Upper House, George said that the government had been making efforts to get the NGT stay vacated so that it could complete the project within two years.
The project has been conceived to ease traffic towards the Kempegowda International Airport. Further, it has been envisioned to provide connectivity to Tumakuru Road, Nagavara-Hennur and Sarjapur Roads.
When Karnik asked about the project cost, George said, "The steel bridge was conceived by the then BJP government. But, the detailed project report was readied after the Congress government came to power. Larsen and Toubro has been selected as the agency to implement the project at an estimated cost of Rs 1,791 crore."
He said that people travelling to Hebbal and Yelahanka could also opt for this route. Equipment and spare parts for the bridge will be manufactured in single unit to facilitate the speedy implementation of the project.
Meanwhile, the chief minister held a review meeting on the flyover project at Suvarna Vidhana Soudha. He later told media that he has directed the advocate general to make efforts to vacate the NGTstay.![]( "The project has been conceived to ease traffic towards the Kempegowda International Airport.
