Construction work on the grade separator at Kempegowda circle in Mysuru will be completed by June 2027. Mysuru MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar shared this update after inspecting the project site on Monday.

Project Progress

The grade separator project costs ₹120 crore as part of a larger highway improvement plan worth ₹700 crore. National Highways Authority of India officials told the MP that the flyover portion will open for traffic by March 2027. Workers will install the project's girders next month. The MP instructed officials to finish the work on time while keeping quality high and public trouble low. The busy junction previously turned into a traffic bottleneck and a black spot due to heavy vehicle crowding.

Environmental Work

Workers transplanted 278 out of 350 trees that blocked the path of the development into two nearby parks. Nearly 95 percent of these moved trees survived. Officials are watching their health closely to help them grow well.

Context

Large road infrastructure projects often require relocating mature trees to balance urban growth with environmental care. Traffic bottlenecks at major highway junctions regularly demand grade separators to ease vehicle movement.
