Mysuru Grade Separator Project on Track for 2027 Completion, Says MP

UPDATE - follow-up to Works on grade separator at Kempegowda circle to be completed by June 2027: Yaduveer: Construction work on the Rs 120-crore grade separator at Kempegowda circle in Mysuru will wrap up by June 2027. Mysuru MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar shared this update after inspecting the site on Monday.

Project Progress

The grade separator is part of a larger highway improvement project costing Rs 700 crore. Work on the site is moving forward at a fast pace. The flyover portion of the project will open for public use by March 2027. Officials plan to install the structure's girders next month. The remaining work along the Ring Road will finish by June 2027.

Traffic and Environment

The junction at Kempegowda circle connects the Mysuru-Bengaluru highway and the Ring Road near Manipal Hospital. Heavy traffic buildup made this spot a major bottleneck. MP Yaduveer told officials to finish the work on time, keep high quality standards, and cause less trouble for people. He also checked on trees that were moved to make way for construction. Out of 350 trees affected by the project, workers transplanted 278 trees to two nearby parks. Officials report that these transplanted trees are doing well and growing.

Context

Infrastructure projects often require moving trees to clear land for wider roads and new flyovers. Leaders frequently inspect major public works to make sure contractors meet their deadlines and follow environmental rules. Large road projects in growing cities aim to cut down traffic jams and make daily travel safer for everyone.
