BMRCL's work on Outer Ring Road-Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) Metro corridor could disrupt some infra projects and affect green cover on the stretch. While 4,789 trees between Central Silk Board and KIA face threat, the dedicated bus lane and cycle track between Central Silk Board and KR Puram and the recently white-topped KR Puram-Hebbal section too could come in the way of Metro work. Senior BMRCL official said, “During construction work, we need 4.5m width on both sides of the median. Vehicular traffic on around 9m of the ORR will be affected. So it is difficult to retain the BPL in most area. Cycle lanes in some places will also be affected. Final decision will be taken after consulting with traffic police. We still haven’t got permission to cut trees along ORR-KIA Metro corridor, this process will take place for least 3-6 months. Small portions near medians & service road of the white-topped stretch between KR Puram & Hebbal will be affected. But it will be restored after completion of work.”
