Work on Bengaluru’s long delayed Ejipura flyover gains pace with target completion in 2026
The long delayed Ejipura flyover project in Bengaluru has finally picked up speed, with officials confirming steady progress and a new completion target of 2026. The long awaited project aims to ease traffic congestion at one of the city’s busiest stretches.
Work on the Ejipura flyover, one of Bengaluru’s most delayed infrastructure projects, has shown visible improvement in recent weeks. After repeated interruptions caused by land acquisition issues, contractor changes and logistical challenges, construction has now resumed at a faster pace. Officials from the civic body confirmed that the project is back on track with an updated completion target set for 2026.
The flyover is expected to significantly reduce congestion along the Inner Ring Road stretch between Ejipura and Koramangala, a route that sees heavy traffic throughout the day. Commuters have been waiting for this project for several years since the bottleneck causes long delays during peak hours.
According to project managers, foundation work on several pillars is complete and additional segments are now being prepared for installation. Workers have been deployed in larger numbers and machinery is operating for extended hours to compensate for earlier delays. Authorities are also coordinating with utility departments to prevent further interruptions due to cable and pipeline relocations.
Residents and local businesses have expressed cautious optimism. While many are relieved to see consistent construction activity, they also hope that the project will not face fresh obstacles. Officials state that weekly monitoring meetings have been initiated to ensure that timelines are maintained and issues are resolved quickly.
Once completed, the Ejipura flyover is expected to streamline traffic movement, cut travel time and improve connectivity between major commercial hubs. The project is viewed as a crucial step toward easing Bengaluru’s long standing traffic challenges.
