Bengaluru's long-awaited double-decker flyover, connecting Ragigudda to Central Silk Board (CSB) over a stretch of 3.3 kilometres, is set to open to the public on June 15 after numerous delays. This innovative infrastructure project features two levels: the lower level, positioned eight meters above ground, designed for automobiles, and the upper level elevated 16 meters, reserved for the metro line, a report said.

Once operational, the flyover will streamline travel between South Bengaluru and key IT hubs like Whitefield and Electronics City, offering direct access to areas such as HSR Layout, and BTM Layout as well. This is expected to significantly ease traffic congestion during peak hours, the publication added.
