🚀 Bengaluru’s Traffic Game-Changer: Prestige Group to Build 1.5-km ORR Flyover – Here’s What You Need to Know!
In a major boost for Bengaluru’s crumbling infrastructure, real estate giant Prestige Group has secured BBMP approval to construct a 1.5-km elevated flyover that promises to revolutionize connectivity between Bellandur’s upcoming tech hub and the notorious Outer Ring Road (ORR).
Why This Matters
🔥 Traffic Relief Coming Soon: The flyover will bypass two of Bengaluru’s most congested stretches – Old Airport Road and Kariyammana Agrahara Road – potentially saving commuters hours of bumper-to-bumper misery
💰 Who’s Paying? In a rare public-private partnership win, Prestige will:
Fully fund the entire flyover construction
Widen the bottlenecked Kariyammana Agrahara Road
Keep the flyover open to ALL commuters (not just tech park employees)
🏗 Tech Park Bonus: The flyover will serve the upcoming Prestige Beta Tech Park – a massive 70-acre development set to house 5,000+ tech employees daily
The Approval Saga
🗓 2022: Prestige first proposed the project
📝 2023: Submitted revised plans highlighting worsening traffic
✅ April 2025: Finally approved after Deputy CM DK Shivakumar’s intervention
💡 Smart Deal: Prestige gets Transferable Development Rights (TDRs) for land surrendered for road expansion – a win-win for both the city and developer
What’s Next?
With approvals in place, construction is expected to begin soon. Once complete, this could become a model for future private-funded infrastructure projects in traffic-choked Bengaluru.
🚗 Pro Tip: While the flyover will help, Bengaluru commuters might want to keep those WFH options open – this is just one piece of the city’s massive traffic puzzle!
