The huge project is likely to be done at an estimated Rs 18,500 croreThe state government's ambitious plan of easing traffic congestion by constructing elevated corridors is all set to come with a huge bill: A massive Rs 18,500 crore! And they plan to pass it on to the users.The initial estimates for the three corridors that will crisscross the city were readied recently and the projects are likely to be kick-started by the state government before the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) polls. The corridors, which are likely to be completed in five years, will be pay-and-travel (toll) roads for commuters.Three elevated roads have been planned: the north-south corridor connecting Central Silk Board with Hebbal; east-west corridor-1 connecting KR Puram with Yeshwanthpur (Goraguntepalya); and east-west corridor-2 connecting Jnanabharathi with Varthur Kodi.These will have three more connecting corridors of a total length of 75 km, all estimated to be built at a cost of Rs 18,500 crore — one of the costliest projects to be executed by the BBMP under the public-private-partnership (PPP) model. The Congress government led by chief minister Siddaramaiah has decided to take on a few development projects before the BBMP elections.Acting on directions from the chief minister, BBMP administrator T M Vijay Bhaskar held a review meeting of the civic body’s engineering department in which he directed preparing a detailed feasibility report (DFR) and inviting tenders before June 25.According to the preliminary report prepared by the engineers (a copy of which is available with Bangalore Mirror), once the project is completed and thrown open to the traffic, it will save travel time substantially leading to people reaching anywhere in city within 45 minutes.Moreover, other non-quantifiable benefits include a significant reduction in various unwanted features -- accidents, air pollution and noise pollution – while increasing the quality of life.The BBMP engineers have estimated a cost of Rs 18,500 crore for the project while it requires around 100 acres of land for it.The acquiring process would require Rs 8,000 crore while the remaining 10,000 crore would be used towards the execution of the project.The BBMP won’t be spending single rupees from its pocket. In fact, for the preparation of DFR which will cost Rs 30 crore would be funded by the state government. The successful contractor will execute work as per given drawings, designs, finance for the projects, builds, maintains and collects tolls, said Bhaskar.He said, “All the elevated roads will have toll. It is already announced by the chief minister itself. I have asked engineers to prepare DFR and also to invite the tenders. All these roads will have six lanes and during the preparation of the DFR should synchronize with the Metro officials.”*Project to be implemented through PPP-Annuity.
