The land has been levelled between Lotegollahalli and Yelahanka (barring a couple of railway crossings, and Kodigehalli Railway Station Platform), and if everything goes right, then there should be a double line between Yelahanka and Yeshwantpur in one year or so.

Also, it seems that underbridge construction has started at Judicial Layout, hence the movement of road traffic at Allalsandra would be restricted after the underbridge construction for some time till the overbridge construction is complete there as well.

As far as Yelahanka Channasandra line is concerned, most of the land is ready, except for few stretches.

I suggest that, once doubling work is complete, next project that should be taken is construction of Dodjala-Airport Line, which would provide smooth and frequent service between Bangalore City/Yeshwantpur/Baiyappanahalli and the Airport (of course, not neglecting areas like Yelahanka, Kodigehalli, Jakkur etc either).

Finally, I saw some work being done on the road. Probably, the road is being bored from the center, and pillar being erected. Atleast now, they have realized that this busy crossing needs to be done away with since this not only causes delays to road users, but also delays trains (I have seen that scene as well).

No other Railway projects can beet this type of record.  Let the Railway Minister review these  projects and stop doingt he blame game. Let him visit all important station like Bangalore city, Yesvanthpur, Tumkur, Yelahanka, K R Purma, Whitefield, Doddballapur.

Already more then 100  Crore spent by SWR but not ready to open it for   train movements. This 10 Kms has taken 7 years for SWR to build,,  it may be Gunisess Record and  no other divisions of Railways can beat this  record

 

Are the railways planning for a under-bridge near SARAYE PALYA / ANNAM ENCLAVE or BENS SATHYA ENCLAVE connecting to Hennur Road. The complete layout is blocked b'cos people have to come all the way to main road to go to Hennur road.

Need your feedback on this query.
