The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation is set to enhance commuting at one of Bengaluru's busiest junctions, Silk Board, by constructing a 250-meter elevated pedestrian walkway. This walkway will connect the operational Yellow Line station with the upcoming Blue Line station along the Outer Ring Road, addressing the lack of direct interchange at this location. The project, which includes the introduction of the first travelator in the Namma Metro network, is estimated to cost ₹59 crore (approximately $7 million USD) and aims to improve last-mile connectivity.
