Two long up
and down ramps will be made on the Hebbal Main Road.
Two box underpasses will allow vehicles to move from Banglore Palace
towards Malleswaram, and those coming from Cauvery junction to take a
right turn towards Malleshwaram. As the ramps will need embankments, it
is estimated that this project will take more time. The cost is
estimated at Rs 2.5 crore and will take approximately 45 days to
complete.

Just as i had gone to the BDA junction to watch the marking for the Magic Box flyover , One of the engineers told me that the High grounds police station is going down today... I said to myself Ummm..... Finally the recently renovated Highgrounds police station is goin down. Its possibly sad to see this landmark of Bangalore going down but i guess its a necessary evil to accomodate the fresh traffic towards and from the BIAL Airport.

The BBMP launched the precast elements after 10 pm on Monday. It has so far completed excavation works in coordination with BWSSB, which has shifted utilities like sewerage and water supply lines. Officials said unlike Cauvery junction, vehicles will be allowed on one side of the Bellary Road during the day time, while work load will be doubled at night. Pre-cast elements have been stocked near BDA junction to facilitate easy work. BBMP has promised to complete works on this junction in 45 days to provide the signal free road to the international airport.
This underpass has two components — 30 elements will be installed at the BDA junction and the remaining 15 will be installed at the Palace-Guttahalli junction. The latter will facilitate U-turn to Bashyam Circle-bound vehicles from Mehkri Circle.
some questions.
does this this mean at BDA jn, the underpass would look like this (and not like as shown in the model above)? Two passes? The photoyogi's pics also seem to suggest that.
Another question, what exactly is the position of the 15-element u-turning underpass at guttehalli?
the reason i ask is i am not sure which of these is correct (assuming moving from WM towards MC)
#1. climb up the ramp at BJ then down the ramp then again up the ramp at GJ then again down the ramp and then turn left at CJ?
#2. climb up the ramp at BJ, stay up, down the ramp at GJ and then turn left.
i think two is better since anyways everybody turns left at CJ there is no problem of merging on Belary road. but if BJ and GJ are too far off then it might be expensive to do so.
