The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has again floated a tender, worth Rs 144 crore, to complete the construction of the flyover between Ejipura Main Road and Kendriya Sadan in Koramangala, Bengaluru.
Following a high court directive, the Karnataka government in March 2022 had cancelled the tender awarded to Simplex Infrastructure to construct the 2.5 km flyover. The new tender has been floated after comprehensive assessment to engage a new company to complete the pending work.
The contract for flyover construction to ease traffic in the Koramangala area was awarded in 2017 but faced delays leading to partial work done.
The Urban Development Department in 2022 directed the BBMP to float a fresh tender as per the norms of Karnataka Transparency in Public Procurement Act at a project cost of Rs 204 crore. However, the contract was not awarded due to technical reasons.
