Will it ease traffic or not?

Will it ease traffic or not?
DH News Service,Bangalore:
The first underpass constructed using pre-cast elements at Cauvery junction was opened for traffic on Wednesday evening.

The first underpass constructed using pre-cast elements at Cauvery junction was opened for traffic on Wednesday evening. Vehicles moving from BDA junction to Mekhri Circle took left turn at the junction and a U-turn at the underpass to reach Bellary Road.

Drivers had to bring down the speed while taking the U-turn. Delay while taking U-turn was bound to trigger a traffic jam. There was constant movement of traffic though the speed was minimal.
Vehicles reaching Bellary Road from Bhashyam Circle passed through the underpass. Vehicles from Bhashyam Circle have been provided with both right and left turns on Bellary Road.

BBMP Commissioner Dr S Subramanya said the underpass minimises the time that travellers were spending at the junction earlier. It needs at least six days for drivers and riders to set to the new road. After a week they will develop familiarity and traffic movement will be faster.

Cracks developed
Roads at the underpass were asphalted only two days before the inauguration. But they developed cracks within a few minutes after vehicles started plying. The commissioner said roads developed cracks at some points where the land was dug to shift utilities. The Palike has identified such points and repair work will be taken up soon.
