Heavy rains in November delayed project; work on drainage system under way
The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL) is set to begin road-widening work along a 1.5 km stretch from Benniganahalli to K.R. Puram railway station in 15 days. The project is aimed at easing vehicular movement from Outer Ring Road and from Baiyappanahalli side towards Whitefield and Silk Board.
BMRCL managing director Anjum Parwez said that due to the incessant rains that lashed the city in November, work could not be taken up. The BMRCL has already started building a drainage system in the area.
“Due to heavy rains, metro construction works especially erecting piers and other related works got delayed to some extent. Near K.R. Puram Bridge, the BMRCL had taken up widening of road. A majority of the properties have already been acquired,” he said.
