In a change of plans, Bengaluru Smart Infrastructure Limited (B-SMILE) has decided to cover the main Outer Ring Road (ORR) in East Bengaluru as part of a comprehensive development of the IT sector to “global standards”.
The 17.1 km stretch between Silk Board Junction and KR Pura Metro Station is all set for a ₹368 crore facelift and was earlier planned to be covered in black using stone matrix asphalting technique. The Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) also dropped the stringent quality checks it had planned to include in the tender to ensure quality work.
