Mysore / Magadi Outer Ring Road Complete?

Bangalore Infrastructure BDA ORR Media Reports Road
Today's Business Standard article reads: Maytas Infra completes road project in B'lore.
I have used this so called Nagarabhavi Ring Road many times, from Nagarbhavi Circle to Magadi Road. It is a well built road, and as it stands now, has no proper end points!. You will see a half completed flyover on Magadi Road end, and on the other end, has not even intersected with Mysore road yet. Somehow Maytas declares the road complete.... Interesting.
Anything goes for the markets, I guess.

Thanks Srinidhi for sharing the info and picture. Hopefully the mess of Nayandahalli comes to an end atleast for the traffic going straight. They should put plastic cones to segregate the straight going traffic on ORR with the rest of the traffic so that there is no confusion.
I felt that the Nayandahalli Railway Station should have been in this junction next to Metro station for better integration with Metro and city buses. Now the station is in isolation and reaching there is a night mare.

Sri,
thanks for the pictures & info. Since you are from the area, can you tell us if there are any pedestrian /bus & metro users' facilities also being built with this construction ?
For example, how are pedestrian issues being addressed for bus users at the intersection, also for Metro users & for modal shifts ? Or is it too early to comment, with lot of construction still remaining ?
From the rendering of Nayandahalli development, there appear to be nothing, but I am not entirely sure, & would like to take this up, but need inputs.
'newdelli' flyover leg opened..

'newdelli' was the nick name for nayandahalli called by a conductor in the 90's...never thought it would be in the midst of so much activities..
one leg of the flyover connecting the ring road has been thrown open for traffic..its such a relief!
The other leg connecting the mysore road is still under construction and the pillars are almost done..the metro station work too is also getting done..

there is absolutely no provisions for NMT today with what ever work is completed..infact there are potential traffic collision points already with the current design..
the flyover(4 lanes) which is completed now connects the ring road however a sbustantial amount of traffic coming from mysore road towards PES college/Banashankari passes below the flyover and traverses on the old service road and merges abruptly onto the ring road where the flyover lands..thats really poor design and will lead to a sure mess..
About bus stops, I dont know what BMTC plans after the metro stn comesup..but as of today the stands are before and after the junction..one at yokogowa facility and one at nayandahalli..there needs be better co-ordination when metro comes up..not sure if it will ever happen as we see nothing happening with the byappanahalli metro station or other stations in the current reach 1

One level of the flyover connecting the ring roads is amost complete and I think they will open it for traffic soon..below is a pic from last sunday..they are already asphalting the bridge..also sivasailam was saying that the metro work is also almost over and the barricades would be off in few days!
