Cracks showing on Kadugodi overbridge

8 March 2012 - 7:36pm — Sanjeev

The railway overbridge at Kadugodi junction in Whitefield was to have been completed in 15 months but it took almost four years. One would have expected that extra time to have been translated into better quality. But motorists travelling on the 640-metre bridge have a different story.

Elevated 'through' corridor concept - a "plus" inside Outer Ring Road

I was recently driving on the NICE Road between PES College to Somapura Intersection. My car was the only car and I was cruising at around 90kph. While I was nearing the intersection climbing an uphill unable to see what is there on the otherside of the road after it flattens, suddenly I saw 6-7 people standing in the middle of the road which they are not supposed to be since it is a freeway.
