GHMC all set to start construction
GHMC is all set to begin construction of a set of flyovers near Uppal junction, as part of the Strategic Road Development Plan (SRDP).
With the aim of easing congestion resulting from convergence of vehicle traffic from all sides, the GHMC is taking up construction of four flyovers near the junction.
The structures are necessary also in view of the elevated corridor under construction by the Roads & Buildings department on behalf of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
We all remember the childhood history classes on human evolution, which taught us how where men started hunting their food and learned to cook on fire create a fire that paved the way for our culinary adventures across centuries. Humans have evolved since then, wood fires have been replaced by ovens and gas stoves whereas open-fire cooking has only been a part of our backyard activity that gets a pick occasionally during special occasions.
Bengaluru and its civic bodies are notorious for delays in completion of infrastructural projects. Arguably the most infamous among such projects is the Ejipura flyover, which has been dragging on for the past seven years. Intended to connect the southeast part of the city to its east and west regions, it has faced numerous delays since its commencement in 2017.
