On record
The BDA's Hebbal flyover loop, meant to ease one of Bengaluru's worst traffic bottlenecks, missed its original September 2024 deadline and was only about 65% complete as of January 2025. The agency changed its design mid-project (partially rather than fully dismantling the old Nagavara-K R Puram ramp), adding further confusion, with even a revised Chief-Secretary-mandated April 2025 deadline seen as unlikely to be met.
The official record states: "BDA officials cited railway-approval processes (needing an RDSO-approved vendor, quality-assurance clearances and welding tests for work above railway tracks) as the primary bottleneck."
“Sixty-five percent of a loop, and a fresh decision to dismantle only part of the old one.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“Crawled through Hebbal junction under a loop that was due in September 2024 and was two-thirds there in January.”
“They changed their minds halfway about how much of the old ramp to take down. The junction below is living with both answers.”
“Told the delay is about welding tests and approved vendors for work above the tracks. The tracks are not the thing holding anyone up.”
