Leading real estate player Prestige Group has received the approval to build a 1.5-km long flyover in Bengaluru’s Bellandur area that aims to connect its new tech park to the Outer Ring Road. The project has received a go-ahead from the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike, the city’s civic body.
The proposed flyover, aimed at reducing the traffic congestion in the Bellandur area, will be fully funded by the Prestige Group. While approving the project, the BBMP has noted that the flyover must also be opened to the general public. Moreover, it has been allowed on the condition that Prestige will undertake the work to widen Kariyammana Agrahara Road using its own resources, Deccan Herald reported.
The flyover will run next to an existing road and a stormwater drain. The private flyover is expected to cut travel time to Sakra Hospital Road by 2.5 km.
Prestige Group first approached BBMP in August 2022 and again in November 2023, seeking approval for a dedicated flyover to its upcoming Beta Tech Park project in Bellandur. The proposal cited heavy traffic on Old Airport Road and Kariyammana Agrahara Road. The flyover is expected to improve access to the upcoming tech park, which is likely to host over 5,000 employees.
