Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has announced that Bengaluru’s second Hebbal flyover loop, connecting Esteem Mall to Mekhri Circle, will be operational by November.
The Rs 300 crore project aims to ease the city’s chronic traffic bottlenecks, with one new loop already inaugurated linking Outer Ring Road to Bellary Road at a cost of Rs 80 crore. “With the new loops, the number of lanes at Hebbal flyover has increased from two to six,” Deputy CM Shivakumar said, adding that the BDA Chairman has been tasked with completing the pending loop by November.
The Deputy CM also revealed plans for a new 1.5-km tunnel road from Esteem Mall to Baptist Hospital and confirmed that tenders have been floated for a 16.5-km tunnel road between Hebbal and Silk Board at an estimated cost of Rs 17,000 crore.
