The Hindu
50 buildings along one-km stretch will be partially or totally razed
The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has started demolition work to widen the road located near the hanging bridge at Tin Factory. A majority of the 50 buildings on a one-km stretch from Outer Ring Road (ORR) flyover to K.R. Puram Railway station will be partially demolished, while a few will be razed so that the three-lane road can be widened to five. Work on the right side of the road, from the under construction K.R. Metro Station to the petrol bunk near the Tin Factory foot-over-bridge, has already been completed. BMRCL has to now widen another 500 m of land from the petrol bunk towards ORR flyover. The corporation is spending ₹343 crore for the acquisition of 17,000 sq.m of land to compensate owners of the affected structures and rehabilitate tenants. As per the decision taken at the State-government level, BMRCL is widening the road to ease traffic moving towards K.R. Puram, Hoskote, Central Silk Board, and Whitefield on the left side. On the other side of the road, the project will help motorists coming towards Baiyappanahalli and Hebbal. There are plans to build bus bays on either side of the road.
