Bengaluru Metro Phase III Finally Gets Green Signal

In a separate development, Bengaluru’s long-awaited Namma Metro Phase 3 project is finally showing signs of progress. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has announced plans to soon invite tenders for the 28.4-kilometre corridor linking JP Nagar 4th Phase to Kempapura in Hebbal.

The Central Government had approved this stretch nearly a year ago, but the tendering process received repeated roadblocks, drawing public ire. The project’s delay was largely attributed to the intricate design challenges of constructing a double-decker viaduct that integrates both a metro line and a flyover within the same structure. Now that the detailed design phase has been finalised, BMRCL is preparing to move ahead with the construction, according to a report by Bangalore Mirror.

The 28.4-kilometre corridor will feature multiple interchange points, improving connectivity with existing metro lines and major city roads. A major highlight of Phase 3 is India’s first integrated double-decker viaduct, a structure combining a metro line and a flyover, stretching across 37.12 kilometres. This includes the 28.4-kilometre JP Nagar-Kempapura corridor and an additional 8.6-kilometre section between Hosahalli on Magadi Road and Kadabagere.
