BDA seeks alternatives to widen Outer Ring Road
BDA is planning to construct an underpass and a flyover at a cost of Rs 450 crore to ease traffic flow on that stretch of the ring road.
This is the stretch
Tunnel is the best option. Until the tunnel gets built using steel bridge (pic below) they can double deck the entire stretch from BEL circle until it joins the NH4. Traffic from Hebbal towards NH4 will be on top so they will be able to land across the road . Traffic from NH4 towards BEL circle will go below. One can easily get 3 lanes above & below. An underpass or a similar steel bridge can be built if it doesnt clash with the elevated road to make the right turn at the ORR NH4 junction on the Peenya side.
These steel bridges are removable like they did in Downtown Boston after the Big Dig was commissioned. Once this stretch gets its tunnel these structures can be dismantled.

NW Part of ORR
"As the repeated efforts to convince Indian Air Force to part with its land near the Jalahalli railway line and the Outer Ring Road (ORR) junction for widening the ORR turned futile, the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) is planning to construct an underpass and a flyover at a cost of Rs 450 crore to ease traffic flow on that stretch of the ring road"
Judging from the aerial google picture & also knowing how barren the land stretch is within the air-force area, I think the authorities must pursue at the highest levels for land acquisition to widen ORR instead of coming up with more expensive & time-consuming alternatives.
Air-force & other defense establishments have been forced to prevail with better sense in cities like Hyderabad, Ranchi & Pune when land was required for cicvic purposes & road-widening. It's only in Bangalore that they seem to maintain status-quo & refuse to part with any land, despite justifiable needs.
ORR TUNNEL
Some immediate solution need to be found for this place. As the eastern and western segments of the ORR ( with respect to Tumkur Road-NH4 ), two signal lights had to be installed resulting in traffic congestion. Once the elevated highway opens in the next 2-3 months, this shall lead to traffic pile up in this area.
