BENGALURU: With Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) set to take up work on demolishing Jayadeva flyover by March-end or early April, residents of adjoining areas like BTM Layout, Jayanagar and Bannerghatta Road are keeping their fingers crossed.Metro officials said the busy Jayadeva Junction is being remodelled to accommodate an additional elevated road and the interchange Metro station of Reach 5 line (RV Road to Bommasandra) and Reach 6 line (Gottigere to Nagawara).“This remodelling is one of its kind in the city of Bengaluru and is an engineering marvel. It has its own challenges like constructing six levels of different infrastructure,” the BMRCL said in its January newsletter.The demolition work is expected to be completed in three months. BMRCL, along with traffic police and Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), is coming up with a comprehensive traffic management plan during the demolition work. However, the existing underpass along Bannerghatta Road won’t be affected.Commuters using Bannerghatta Road said the flyover demolition will worsen things on the already congested corridor. Prabhakaran K, a resident of BTM II Stage, said: “I am extremely worried about the consequences of the flyover coming down. As a senior citizen, I am worried about how I will get around the city. Are we going to be stuck at home because of traffic?”A Vidyashankar, president of a joint action committee of 10 resident welfare associations in BTM Layout, said: “We have been told that one arm of the flyover connecting Gopalan Mall and Ragigudda will be demolished first in March-end or April. Another arm connecting Ragigudda and Mico Layout will be demolished by October. We hope the authorities will complete the project without any delay to avoid further inconvenience to road users.”BMRCL officials said they are taking all preventive steps to avoid inconveniencing commuters and patients who visit hospitals like Jayadeva cardiology institute. Sources said the demolition work will be undertaken only during night (10pm-6am) and nearby roads will be closed during work hours. A series of jaw crushers and JCBs will be used on both sides of the flyover. The debris will be transported in trucks by early morning to reduce air pollution.The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) had spent Rs 21 crore to construct the Jayadeva flyover, which was thrown open to public in 2006.
