The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRCL) is set to draw a detailed plan for a flyover with two loops and widening of the road between Tin Factory and Mahadevapura junctions.

BMRCL has dropped its previous proposal to build a road-cum-rail corridor at the KR Puram junction to facilitate the integration of the Whitefield Metro line (Phase-2 Reach 1) with ORR line (Phase-2A), which is set to be extended to the airport.

BMRCL informed the government in August 2019 that the detailed project report (DPR) for the corridor listed out several challenges and practical difficulties to build such an infrastructure. An alternative study has been conducted to assess feasibility of widening and upgrade the road infrastructure for easing traffic movement, for which 12,140 sq mtr of land will be acquired.

The additional land will be used to standardise the uneven width of the road from the Mahadevapura junction to Tin Factory, which is reduced to two lanes at several stretches. It will be widened into a standard four-lane carriageway and two-lane service road.

Similarly, the road in the opposite direction from Tin Factory to Mahadevapura, whose width is reduced to three lanes at some stretches, will be upgraded to five lanes along with construction of a footpath. BMRCL has also proposed to acquire 6,894 sq mtr land to build a flyover in future. The government has given in-principle approval for the plan.
