Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) will throw open the much-awaited Dairy Circle flyover for traffic movement on Wednesday at 6.30 pm.

To be inaugurated by Chief Minister N Dharam Singh, the flyover connects Lalbagh Road to Hosur Road, ensuring smooth flow of vehicles on this route. Presently, this stretch is one of the busiest traffic junctions with an estimated 12,500 vehicles (passenger car per unit) passing through it per hour. Constructed at a cost of Rs 11.25 crore, the total length of the flyover is 534.82 mts. It also has two carriage ways of 7.50 mts each. The entire flyover rests on 11 piers and two abutments founded on 72 piles, BDA officials said. The BDA is, however, yet to complete the work on an underpass being constructed at the junction. The proposed underpass is taken up at the cost of Rs 6.05 crore and will connect Bannerghatta Road to Hosur Road. The project is scheduled to be complete in November 15, 2005.
