Aimed at easing the traffic flow on the Bangalore-exit stretch of Mysore Road, a grade separator is being built at the junction of Mysore Road and Outer Ring Road at Kengeri (Kengeri Satellite Town Road turn).

The Rs 23-crore project is being handled by the Karnataka Road Development Corporation.

It is billed to be completed within the next 15 months.

Amidst pouring rain on Monday evening, Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy and Deputy Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa unveiled the foundation stone for the grade separator project.

According to KRDCL, which also executed the four-laning of Bangalore-Mysore Road, the grade separator will essentially avoid the present criss-crossing at the Mysore road junction.
