The long-awaited Babusapalya railway underbridge in east Bengaluru is nearing completion and is expected to be opened to the public within a week. This project, which has been under implementation since 2021, aims to alleviate chronic traffic congestion caused by the nearby Horamavu-Agara railway crossing. Despite the main structure being ready for nearly three years, delays were primarily due to legal disputes over land acquisition. With the issues now resolved, the Bengaluru East City Corporation is finalizing the approach road, which is being constructed with durable concrete. However, concerns have been raised regarding the maintenance of the underbridge itself, with reports of garbage, stagnant water, and visible water seepage. Local residents expressed frustration over the delays, citing a lack of coordination between the Bengaluru civic authorities and the South Western Railway. The opening of the underbridge is anticipated to significantly improve traffic flow for commuters in Babusapalya and surrounding neighborhoods.
