Summary:
“We have to acquire 49 properties, including around 5,000 sq ft area of St.
Johns Hospital and hostels, a property belonging to the central public works department (CPWD) and 948 sq ft area of Indian Institute of Astrophysics campus. After police gave permission on October 6, 2017, the pier-testing work took another two months.Nadeem said the civic agency has to acquire around 8,000 sq ft land to give the final touches to the flyover. “So far, around 39 of the 81 piers have come up, while 241 of the 305 pilings have been completed. While traffic police took five months to clear the 2.4km flyover billed to resolve one of the most knotty traffic gridlocks in the city, civil police took 273 days to give permission for controlled blasting.The flyover’s pace of progress has touched off a Twitter debate. The project was initially delayed due to traffic police delaying permission to take up the work, but work was being undertaken without any traffic diversion,” he said.The flyover along the 100ft Inner Ring Road will ease traffic between Ejipura Main Road–Inner Ring Road Junction and Hosur Road Junction near Kendriya Sadana..
