Foundation stone laid for Pedestrian underpass under Hebbal
flyover rail line
Years after the Hebbal flyover soared over the single line
railway track, thousands of pedestrians who were crossing the track to get
between the two bus stops will finally get some relief.
Union Minister DV Sadananda Gowda and Hebbal MLA Y.A.
Narayanaswamy on Sunday laid the
foundation stone for a pedestrian underpass at the spot.
Over the years this dangerous spot has seen many accidents,
including some fatalities.
"It's been almost 18 years since the flyover came up.
Thousands of pedestrians negotiate this dangerous stretch daily to reach Hebbal
bus stops on the Airport road and below the flyover on the Outer Ring Road.
This should have been planned years ago," says Krishna Murthy a Hebbal
resident.
The Union Minister, under whose North Bangalore MP constituency
Hebbal comes, requested citizens to keep a check on the quality of the
infrastructure works.
He has also urged citizens to download Hebbal MLA
Narayanswamy's app - Hebbal Samparka - where citizens can lodge complaints on
civic issues. To download, click the

The pedestrian underpass will be a boon as once suburban railway
services start on this Yeswantpur-Banaswadi rail line, it will make it
impossible for pedestrians to cross.
