For the students of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Hebbal and other schools on the CV Raman Road, the newly built foot-over bridge was a huge relief.

The road is known for heavy traffic flow from the Mekhri Circle and the Tata Institute junction.

On Wednesday morning when the students first crossed the bridge the relief was evident on their faces. Dressed in their uniforms, they ran up the steps of the bridge in sheer joy.

“The ‘skywalk’ will be of immense use to our students and those of other schools and colleges in the area, who for the last so many years, have been facing severe inconvenience and difficulty in crossing the road,” said Mr C Karunakaran, principal of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Hebbal.

“The bridge has been built by Vantage, under the supervision of the Indian Institute of Science and

encouragement by the Bangalore Mahanagar Palike,” said Supratik Ghosh, General Manager, Vantage - a well known national out-door advertising firm.

Mr Ghosh added that such public-private partnerships would go a long way in improving the infrastructure of the City.
