Elevated flyover

Intermediate Ring Road, KoramangalaEjipura Junction to Kendriya Sadan

Ejipura–Kendriya Sadan flyover

The roughly 2.5 km flyover from Ejipura Junction to Kendriya Sadan began under BBMP in 2017 and missed its November 2019 deadline, then went through contract cancellation and repeat tenders. Reporting says the Karnataka cabinet revised the project cost to ₹307.96 crore in September 2023, while later public updates moved the completion target repeatedly. The reviewed public sources did not include the operative work order, current accepted contract value and payment schedule, or an official progress report as of the review date.
