An elevated road corridor, from Minsk Square to Hebbal flyover, separated by the proposed elevated rail link from the city to the new Bangalore International Airport could be a reality if the State Government agrees to a proposal submitted by a private consortium.

This road-rail corridor would be above the existing stretch of road between Minsk Square and Hebbal flyover and the elevated road corridor would be a pay-and-use path.

BBMP sources said the Delhi-based IDEB Inc had formed a consortium with Shanghai Urban Construction Group and submitted a proposal to build three elevated road corridors, including the one from Minsk Square and Hebbal flyover.

The other two proposals were to build elevated road above the existing road from Vellara junction from Richmond Road junction to Central Silk Board junction and another from Kundalahalli Cross till Kodihalli near the existing Airport Road connecting Whitefield.

The BBMP, which had received the proposal from the State Government, recently conducted a joint preliminary survey along with the representatives of the consortium, which had offered to take up this project under Swiss challenge method.

Under this method the consortium would submit the design and project report to the authority. Based on this global tenders would be invited.

In case of receiving lesser bid than that of the consortium, the authority could award the contract to the other bidder while asking the latter to compensate the consortium for its design and project report, the officials said.
