What do we do with the Richmond road flyover!
Written By blrsri - 16 May, 2008
Traffic Bangalore Flyovers and underpasses
Surprisingly there are very few flyovers in blr which do not have a huge jam under them
every day! The best example is that of the in-famous cable stayed bridge in KR puram and
arguably the next worst is the Richmond road flyover.
This hardly caters to anyone and there are jams below the flyover both at end of double road
and richmond circle.
why is this? cos of one ways on residency road and richmod road..
One of the big reasons why one way was introduced on these roads is cos of the schools and airport..
We have the airport shifted in one weeks time and coming to schools..isnt it the schools respoinsibily
to provide parking to the vehicles that come to drop/pick-up? About cars that come to pick the kids
of influential ppl..shouldnt there be a stopping place where they can pick up/drop kids inside the school?
Why should the general public be put to pain cos of schools inability to provide parking/stopping
area? Also expensive infrastructure like flyovers are going underutilized cos of this!
We should rework on the traffic stiuation on these roads as HAL ceases operation!

Richmond road flyover to be 'normalized'?

"We are reconsidering allowing two-way traffic on Richmond fly-over as the HAL airport is closed for passenger traffic and all facilities have been shifted to the Devanahalli airport. Traffic has eased in this part of the city and it is better to allow two-way traffic after studying the feasibility report"

Btw we discussed this first on praja..early last year!
Its not just the flyover, as we have discussed we need to sort the parking issues at the schools on Residency road and Richmond road..
SB, can this be taken up strongly with Mr Sood?

Isn't it already two way except for the criss cross?
I hope they are planning to make Richmond Road and Residency Road two way. The current arrangement makes it absolutely horrible for bus and auto users.
If at all they continue to be one-way, the directions probably could be reversed. Currently on each road the road narrows progressively in the direction of traffic
