Bengaluru’s first double-decker flyover at the congested Silk Board Junction is nearing full completion, with the final ramp connecting HSR Layout to BTM Layout set to open by December 2025.

The 5.5 km stretch, partly operational since November 2024, aims to decongest one of the city's busiest traffic points. The new ramp will allow smoother movement from HSR to BTM Layout via Ragi Gudda, while also improving access to Electronics City. Though the flyover significantly eases travel, traffic signals at the Silk Board junction will remain. A traffic official explained, “Traffic will ease more once the ramp from the HSR Layout side to BTM Layout becomes operational. However, that alone will not eliminate the need for traffic signals at the junction.”

BMRCL opted for a steel girder instead of a prestressed concrete one to address turning radius issues, aiming for completion by year-end.
