BBMP to go in for new tender for Ejipura elevated corridor
The Hindu
Work was to be completed in 30 months by November 2019, but is far from complete
With nearly no progress for months, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has decided to terminate the tender for the Ejipura elevated corridor. The civic body will be floating a fresh tender to complete the 2.5-km elevated corridor. BBMP Chief Engineer (Projects) N. Ramesh told The Hindu that the work, which was to be completed in 30 months by November 2019, is far from complete. Of the 81 pillars, only 67 have been constructed. Just around 50% of work has been completed. “We have already initiated the process of terminating the tender. We will have to float a global tender for the remainder of the work,” he said. The work had been contracted to M/s Simplex Infrastructure Ltd. and the work order was issued in May 2017.
