Electronic City Elevated Expressway (officially Bangalore Elevated Tollway) was a 9.985 km (6.204 mi) long elevated highway from Silk Board junction to Electronic City in Bangalore, India. The project was a part of the BETL (Bangalore Elevated Tollways Ltd), project as part of the National Highways Development Project and the Elevated Highways Project. It was initiated in early 2006, and was inaugurated on 22 January 2010.[2] It started from Bomanahalli after the Central Silk Board flyover and went on up to Electronic City. It went above the BMIC flyover, at a height of 17 m (56 ft), thus making it Bangalore's tallest flyover.[3]
The elevated expressway had helped to reduce the commute time to the tech hub of Electronic City greatly. Post the construction of this expressway, the travel time to Electronic City from Silk Board junction near Koramangala was reduced to a mere 10 minutes. The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike and Bangalore Development Authority had planned a series of flyovers and underpasses to make this arterial road signal free.[4]
Exits[edit]
Electronic City Elevated Expressway had 3 exits in Electronic City which were, one directing towards Electronic City Phase 1 by right side, second one directing Electronic City Phase 2 by left side and third one directing to Attibele in Anekal.
