BMRCL invites tenders for RV Road-HSR Layout line

The work on Phase II which will connect R V Road and Bommasandra is expected to begin in the next three to four months. The project on the 6.34-km stretch includes construction of five stations - Central Silk Board, BTM Layout, Jayadeva Hospital, Ragigudda and R V Road.

It will also include construction of elevated structures, viaducts, a road-cum-rail flyover bridge and road-widening work, wherever necessary. The estimated cost of the project is Rs. 820cr. BMRCL will soon invite tenders for the demolition of the Marenahalli flyover at Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research junction, said an official spokesperson.

A road-cum-rail flyover bridge will come in place of the existing flyover. Earlier, BMRCL had invited two separate tenders on the same stretch. The civil work is being taken-up in three packages and the construction work is expected to be completed in two to three years. Under Metro second phase work, BMRCL has already taken-up civil work on Mysuru Road Kengeri stretch as well as Yelachenahalli-Kanakapura Road stretch. A few weeks ago, BMRCL had invited bids for civil works on Baiyyappanahalli-Whitefield and NagasandraBengaluru International Exhibition Centre stretch.
