The Greater Bengaluru Authority is set to launch a crucial joint survey to facilitate the acquisition of approximately 7,000 square metres of land, a key step in the construction of the proposed Ejipura flyover. This significant infrastructure move aims to address chronic traffic congestion in one of the city's vital corridors.
Key Establishments Identified for Land Acquisition
The planned acquisition will involve portions of land from several prominent establishments located in the area. St John’s Medical College and Hospital, a major healthcare institution, is among the entities likely to part with some land. Furthermore, the central government-owned Kendriya Sadan complex and the prestigious Indian Institute of Astrophysics are also expected to be part of this land transfer process for the public infrastructure project.
Project Timeline and Strategic Importance
The decision to conduct the joint survey was confirmed, with the authority moving forward on this plan as of 02 December 2025. The Ejipura flyover project is viewed as a critical intervention to decongest traffic flow and improve connectivity in Bengaluru's bustling eastern sectors. The systematic survey will precisely demarcate the required parcels of land from the identified institutions, ensuring a transparent acquisition process.
Implications for Bengaluru's Commuters and Institutions
This development marks a pivotal phase in the long-awaited flyover project. While the land acquisition is essential for public infrastructure growth, it will require careful coordination with the affected esteemed institutions. The successful acquisition of the 7,000 sq m plot is anticipated to pave the way for the actual construction work to begin, promising eventual relief for daily commuters facing gridlock in the Ejipura and surrounding areas. The project underscores the ongoing efforts to enhance Bengaluru's road network amidst its rapid urban expansion.
