Bengaluru's Ejipura Flyover Nears Completion After Nearly a Decade of Delays

The Ejipura flyover in Bengaluru, a 2.38-km elevated corridor started in 2017, has faced nearly a decade of delays and cost overruns. Initially expected to finish in 2019, work stalled for about five years before resuming in late 2023. The Greater Bengaluru Authority now aims to open the flyover by October 2026, with most construction segments completed and complex engineering challenges recently resolved. The project has drawn public criticism and become a symbol of prolonged infrastructure delays in the city.
