Flyover creating traffic chaos in Bangalore
The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is planning to replace the expansion joints on the Sirsi Circle flyover and the flyover will be partially closed to traffic.
All the 14 joints will be replaced at a cost of Rs. 2.65 crore. Replacement of each joint will require at least five days.
There was a huge traffic pile up in City Market, Chamarjpet and commuters were confused as they were not updated about the traffic diversion. Also, there was no traffic diversion signboards or announcements. For one week, commuters have to find alternative routes as BBMP has temporarily closed a 2-km stretch for maintenance work.
Residents who are travelling from Kengeri to the city can still use the stretch. Only half of the flyover has been taken up for renovation and commuters have to take a left deviation towards Chamarajpet and Kengeri.
The work of replacement is being taken up in phases to ensure that commuters are not inconvenienced, said by BBMP officials. The tender has now been given to Kolkata-based Sanfield India Ltd. The replacement work was about to start in October 2011. However it was taken up in March 2012 and the work will be over by January 14.
