The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) has set an October 2026 target for the completion of the long-pending Ejipura flyover project. On Friday, officials announced that key structural works, which had been stalled for years due to unresolved land issues near St John's Hospital, are now progressing on a war footing.
Land Dispute Resolution
The major breakthrough came in February 2026 when St John's Hospital agreed to allow the use of its land for the construction of a portal frame. This agreement resolved a critical bottleneck that had hampered the project's progress. The portal frame is essential for the flyover's alignment and structural integrity.
Current Status and Timeline
With the land issue now resolved, the GBA has accelerated construction activities. The authority aims to complete the flyover by October 2026, pending no further disruptions. The project is expected to significantly ease traffic congestion in the Ejipura area, which has been a major concern for commuters.
The GBA has deployed additional workforce and machinery to meet the deadline. Engineers are working round-the-clock to complete the remaining structural elements and approach roads. The flyover will connect key junctions and improve connectivity in Bengaluru's eastern corridor.
Local residents and commuters have welcomed the news, expressing hope that the flyover will reduce travel time and improve road safety. The project has faced multiple delays over the past decade due to land acquisition issues and legal hurdles.
Future Plans
The GBA is also planning to undertake similar infrastructure projects across the city to address traffic woes. The authority has assured that all pending works will be completed on a priority basis. The Ejipura flyover is expected to be a model for resolving land-related bottlenecks through stakeholder engagement.
