The traffic between silk board and electronic city in Bangalore on Thursday. Some of it will, hopefully, move one level up on Friday when the elevated road is opened to the public, reducing the chaos below.

it s really nice to know that elevated track between electronic city and silk board stretch is being thrown to public. It is expected that time taken is reduced by more than one hour,it we travel in the elevated track. When compared to time saved, the toll is negligible. But is should be maintained regularly and monitored. I used to travel in that road 15 years back and it was taking 2 hours to reach Hosur. Even the ring road was under construction. Thanks to Govt. for speedy completion of project at an escalated cost of Rs.880 cr

I have this dilemma .Should it be Narayana Murthy Upper crescent Road or Slaves’ fastrack or much better The Rat flyover!!
The whole road and traffic and population looked like pied piper of bengaloor has started a rat race and rats were following his tune for the tune is so musical that it deafens the congestion, sweat and torture of travelling 6 hours a day!!
the road adjoins lots of interesting places like parappana agrahara , electronic city and ultimately tamil nadu. while most kannadigas are stopped at parappana agrahara for bravery , electronic city is a safe nepotismic haven of american aspirants and specially when they have road leading to their own state
Wonder if such an investment has occured at any stage in history for migrants; again by Nagarjuna – a migrant company.
statistically traffic from silk board to mg is the major bottleneck. wonder with metro if it combines to one more fly over; the rats will have a hard time; though nandan may issue uids they will have a severe identity crisis.

VM,
Great observation. Exactly my thoughts.
Every body is getting an orgasm looking at this road, but they forget the fact that it will bring in more thambis from Oosur into Bengaluru. This will help thambis settled in the border of TN and karnataka to move inwards and make room for new thambis coming from TN heartland.
Compare this with all the scandals that is breaking out in the NICE construction….and the delay and cost escalation it has resulted in..

This should alleviate part of the traffic woes. Good job.

Vishala Manassu, You have found very imaginative names for this road. Let me add few more to the list
Information Highway — self explanatory
Information “Iye” Way — Iye is Tamil Brahmin– Most common residents of Sahukar city.
Infosys kaLLadAri— Native adjective for a short cut to Infosys — no insinuation to Sahukar’s business dealings.
Or better still– instead of just naming the elevated highway. Let us name both the roads..one on the stilts as well as one below. We can call the one on stilt as “AkAshA” and road below as “pAtALA” and distance between these road will then measure digital divide!!!

Thats a gud one really! But what about traffic coming into Bangalore City from Ecity? What would happen @ silkboard? My guess is, it will get even more choked up with same amount of vehicles as before (and ever increasing at that) with the vehicles descending the flyover near silk board and the vehicles down below. Folks who take the BTM Ring , watch out , you folks will not get any better @ having saved time only to get choked up on that road and anyone going thro that road.
It is a solid waste of money, constructing underpasses where necessary and widening the road (as it done now ) would have had the same effect with a lille less cost. (with a lot of cost saved indeed!) .
But yeah , anyone who is heading out of silk board …it surely will be a great ride ….One day it will be made into only one way ……

This will open the door wide open with a formal red carpet welcome, for the Tamils to join their overpopulated Tamil brethren in Bangalore. This move, along with easing traffic congestion, cements Bangalore East to be a Tamil Dominated region,beyond doubt.
No wonder, if one sees “Tamil” written all over the face of any passer-by around the region,when our Kannada will be pushed to a corner,which would be a heart touching plight !

What a waste of money first to build this and then to use this.

Ah, comeon! influx of migrants from this bridge !! – not a good reason reason not to have this bridge. cant see everything from that prism. People will come in with or without this flyover. It is not like bengaluru was out of limits without this bridge.
The question to ask is whether this benefits us NOT whether this hurts others; and whether there was a better place where money public could have been used, was there a better alternative?
