What's happening
Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar toured the Hebbal Elevated Corridor construction site in Bengaluru on Monday, telling reporters the project might wrap up before its 18-month timeline runs out.
He said he had brought in the Traffic Commissioner and the Bangalore Development Authority Commissioner to look into the work and address any traffic concerns tied to the build.
The details
According to Shivakumar, a fresh construction line began after his government took charge, and the stretch linking the Ring Road into Bengaluru is already finished. He put the underground portion at roughly half done, with a smaller tunnel near the campus already complete.
He estimated the rest of the work would wrap up within a year, noting that even though contractors were allotted 18 months, he expects them to beat that schedule.
The Chief Minister said parts for the structure are being built off-site and then brought in for assembly, meaning most roads should stay open throughout construction — only installing the pillars, he said, will take some extra time.
Why it matters
The corridor is being built by the Bangalore Development Authority, and an early finish combined with no road closures would limit disruption for commuters in a busy part of Bengaluru during the construction period.
