The road-on-road project connecting different parts of the city is likely to be pushed as the city’s flagship project in the upcoming Global Investors’ Meet (GIM).

Sources said the detailed project report is being prepared by Karnataka Road Development Corporation Ltd. A government order was recently issued in this regard and around Rs. 20 crore has been released for the same.

R.K. Mishra, civic expert and member of BBMP’s Technical Advisory Committee, said that the project does not require land acquisition and could be completed in around three years. “Road widening is not feasible, as land acquisition costs are high and citizens do not want Transfer of Development Rights. This is proposed to be built on the existing infrastructure,” he said.

Mr. Mishra said that the Maharashtra government had evinced interest in taking up a similar project in Mumbai.

The project is already being showcased in the ongoing road shows for GIM. The government is eager to find investors to take up the project that will be executed on public-private partnership basis.

“The DPR will be ready by December and we will present it to the Chief Minister then,” he added.
