Airport Road Flyover

There has been lot of woe about Bangalore's infrastructure. It is being heard not just at the national level, but has attracted the internation attention too. And there has been a lot of blame game going around. And what comes first is the Flyover on Airport road. This has been a shame on the city.The first thing is the tender process, no doubt the tender goes to the lowest bidder, but did the authorities really consider the capability of the builder, UP State Bridge corporation, the name itself suggests, these guys cannot handle such a project. If one has noticed the construction process, they have been using the equipments which they probably bought when the company was started way back in 60s. No high end heavy equipments, and a few workers standindg here and there with some hammers and pick axes.The BDA woke up only when they did not meet the dead line. Anyone who has notied the way the corporation was working, could easily guessed that these people cannot complete it in time. What were the authorities doing at the time of construction?OK..Lets leave it here, every one talks about BDAs irresponsibility and the UPSBC's inability, let us look into other aspect of this Flyover.Can this Flyover really solve the problem on airport Road. It is a clear NO. People have been waiting and will wait probably for another 4 years, yes, that's when this flyover will be completed, only to realise that, this flyover was just a piece of crap. This flyover has been designed only to decongest the intersection of IRR and Arport Road, which means the flyover will move the traffic from this juction to the next one. a little more thought and little more money would have decongested the airport road forever.The wing passing next to Nandini Palace, pushes the traffic infront of TGIF. The Airport road still remains the same size and hence there will be congestion near TGIF. Another wing which starts from before the IRR and Airport Road intersection and goes towards Indira Nagar 100 ft. road adds the traffic at the Khivraj motors juction. Instead this wing could have started before the Domlur Shanthi Sagar junction and ended past the Khivraj motors junction.Since the Airport Road cannot be widedned due to the existing commertial stablishments, the better solution would have been to take a parallel elevated road from before the Domlur Shanthi Sagar junction till the Kuvempu circle (i.e. after the Airport entrace). Bangalore is developing very fast beyond Marathhalli and Airport road traffic is going increase manifold soon.So, people if u are waiting for the Airport road traffic to easen after the completion of the flyover, just forget it. And be prepared to live like this or be prepared to leave Bangalore.
