Well, for this route, however, there are a few obstacles, since there are a couple of places where levelling is not yet done. I think one is between Thanisandra and Hennur, and the other near Horamavu. These could take nearly 1 1/2 to 2 years.

Yes. I also noticed, and land has been acquired completely for this route (barring the railway crossings, Kodigehalli Railway Station, and Under the GKVK flyover). If funding, materials and other things are provided, then it shouldnt take more than 6 months to complete the project.
