The Bengaluru Metro is set for a significant extension to the city’s outskirts, with plans to construct double-decker flyovers. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has awarded contracts for conducting feasibility studies for these ambitious projects. These studies will determine the technical and financial viability of extending the metro lines and constructing the flyovers, aiming to ease traffic congestion and improve connectivity in the rapidly expanding city.
The feasibility studies will cover various aspects, including the potential routes for the metro extensions, the design and integration of the double-decker flyovers, and the impact on the existing infrastructure. These extensions are expected to significantly benefit commuters by reducing travel time and providing a more efficient public transportation system. The studies will also explore funding options and the overall economic impact of the projects.
BMRCL has enlisted several consultancy firms to conduct these studies, each bringing expertise in urban transportation planning and engineering. The results of these studies will be crucial in shaping the future development of Bengaluru’s metro network and its infrastructure.
The metro expansion is part of a broader initiative to address the city’s growing transportation needs. Bengaluru's population and vehicular traffic have surged in recent years, necessitating substantial improvements in public transportation infrastructure.
The double-decker flyovers, in particular, are seen as an innovative solution to the city's traffic woes, offering a multi-layered approach to managing vehicle flow. With the feasibility studies underway, the vision of an expanded and more efficient metro system is closer to becoming a reality.
