Real estate major Prestige Group has recieved municipal approval to build a 1.5-km “private” flyover in Bengaluru, which will connect its upcoming Prestige Beta Tech Park in Bellandur to the city's Outer Ring road (ORR), according to a report by Deccan Herald,

The BBMP has approved the development, which will come all along the public road and mostly next to a stormwater drain (SWD) along Kariyammana Agrahara Road, as per the report. In return, Prestige will widen the road at full cost.

A spokesperson for Prestige Group declined to comment, according to the DH report.

The 70-acre tech campus is expected to host more than 5,000 employees and Prestige in its proposal reportedly noted traffic congestion on the Old Airport Road (via Yemalur) and Kariyammana Agrahara Road.

“The new road will reduce travel distance to Sakra Hospital Road by 2.5 km,” BS Prahallad, Technical Director of Bengaluru Smart Infrastructure told the paper. He added that the such approvals aim to boost public-private partnership in city infrastructure.

Besides Prestige, the DH report added that Bagmane Group has also proposed a 600-metre flyover to its campus in Doddanekundi.
