Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, Transport Minister and BTM Layout MLA Ramalinga Reddy and other local MLAs are set to inaugurate the flyover, the officials said.
The double decker-flyover consists of an elevated Metro corridor in the upper deck and an elevated road in the lower deck for vehicular traffic. Last week, AAP leaders had threatened to forcefully open the flyover following the delay by the Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) to open it for vehicular traffic. The flyover has been built to ease out the traffic mess at the notorious CSB junction.
The ramps and the places they connect
The construction of the loops and ramps have been executed by M/s Afcons Infrastructure Limited. Vehicle users coming from Ragigudda by using the double-decker flyover will reach Hosur Road through Ramp A and the HSR Layout through Ramp C.

Further, Ramp B, which is at the ground level, connects Ramp A from the BTM Side to access the Outer Ring Road and Hosur Road. Meanwhile, those coming from the HSR Layout will be able to reach Ragigudda side through Ramp D which runs above Ramp A and Yellow line Metro line and continues with a down Ramp E to access the BTM layout.
Both Ramp A and Ramp B are merging and running continuously over the existing Madiwala flyover across the busiest National Highway (NH-44), featuring four continuous solid slabs, each spanning 31 m, having a width of 15.1 m and coupled with curvature radius of 52 m.
The first level of the road flyover is already constructed for the Yellow line from Ragigudda to the CSB junction. The commissioning of the A, B, and C ramps was supposed to have been completed by May 2024 while the D and E ramps are set to be commissioned by December 2024, according to the BMRCL.
