Redesigning Silkboard junction

Infrastructure

Read somewhere that BETL will open sometime during September to coincide with Dasara.  This will significantly impact Silkboard junction during peak hours as all previous bottlenecks will now

Flyovers are not solutions

One fine morning in Times of India I read Ahmedabad Municipal Corportions's Commissioner declared seven flyovers in his current financial Budget. It was surprised by facts that out of these all, only  for two junctions some traffic surveys and feasibility report were prepared and review by Engineering Department of Corporation.

BBMP elections, Outer ring road and Flyovers Underpasses

It seems the Rs 300 crs needed for 10 underpasses to raise money for which GoK formed a Land corp (sell encroached recovered Govt lands and was unsuccessful) in Oct 2008 has suddenly become 450 crs now to be used for 8 flyovers.

Flyover on Outer Ring Road - Details?

This is my first post on Praja. Does anybody have the plans / designs for the Flyovers that are being built and designs being planned to make the Outer Ring Road "Signal Free"? The current ring road is not very well designed and I am very curious to know what the news plans are and if there was a way to make it better. How does one get hold of such a plan?

Tagore Circle Underpass – Moving Bottlenecks in Basavanagudi

InfrastructureTraffic

KR Park 1BBMP’s prescription to ease congestion in Basavanagudi area is to install an underpass at Tagore circle – a strange decision, since a gigantic flyover has been built on a parallel road, & that same road (Vani Vilas Rd) can be streamlined for uninterrupted flows to attract more traffic, & limit traffic past Gandhi Bazaar & Tagore Circle.

As can be seen from the diagram, what this will do is invite even more traffic through  MN Krishnarao Rd (diagonal road), BP Wadia Rd as also on Gandhi Bazaar Rd . Soon, there will be a need for another underpass or flyover at Indian Institute of World Culture, followed up further by another at the DVG Rd–Gandhi Bazaar Rd intersection, & so on so forth !
