All Flyovers of Bengaluru's Central Silk Board Double-Decker Metro Now Operational

All five flyovers of Bengaluru's Central Silk Board double-decker metro flyover are now operational, marking South India's first road-cum-rail structure. Constructed by Afcons Infrastructure Ltd. as part of the 9.8 km Silk Board-KR Puram Metro Phase 2A project, the flyovers aim to ease congestion at one of the city's busiest junctions. Due to heavy traffic and space constraints, construction was limited to nighttime hours. The tallest flyover, Flyover D, stands 28 meters high, and commuters can save up to 30 minutes in travel time.
