Prestige Group, a leading Bengaluru real-estate firm, has received BBMP approval to construct a 1.5-km private flyover on a public road, linking its upcoming tech park in Bellandur directly to the Outer Ring Road (ORR). The project will run alongside an existing storm-water drain, and Prestige will fully fund the construction and widen Kariyammana Agrahara Road as part of the deal .
This initiative places Prestige in an exclusive club of developers building private infrastructure to enhance connectivity to their projects. Though labelled “private”, the flyover will serve both the tech park and public commuters on ORR. Developers argue this will reduce road congestion in the heavily trafficked Bellandur–ORR corridor. Community and environmental advocates, however, have warned about the potential impact on Bellandur Lake’s ecosystem and flooding risks due to development near wetlands.
The flyover's public access and environmental safeguards will likely shape local acceptance and regulatory approvals.
