Three new flyovers will decongest Sarjapura Road

Commuting on Sarjapura Road is set to become a smooth affair as three flyovers are ready to be inaugurated on the thoroughfare anytime next week. The first flyover is located at Iblur Junction, while the second flyover is at Agara. The third flyover is an extension of the Agara flyover, reports DNA.

Iblur flyover will be a signal-free stretch and it will make the movement of vehicles to Silk Board Junction on Sarjapur Road faster.

Vehicles can now take the main road instead of taking service roads and cross roads and this will also ease the traffic movement towards Koramangala, Sarjapura Road, Marathahalli and Outer Ring Road.

Bangalore Development Authority officials said that there would be some bus lanes and grade-level roads dedicated to the Iblur flyover as it was a part of three-flyover interlink.

The three flyovers will also help the BDA make the Outer Ring Road signal-free.

MN Sreehari, advisor to the government for traffic, transport and infrastructure, said, “These three flyovers will facilitate the free flow of traffic on the Outer Ring Road. They will reduce traffic congestion by about 50% on Agara-Marathahalli junction stretch  and about 60% on the Sarjapura Road.
