BANGALORE: Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on Monday laid the foundation stone for the Rs. 23-crore four-ramp grade separator at the Bangalore-Mysore Road and Outer Ring Road (ORR) Junction near Kengeri.

The Chief Minister could not address the gathering as it started raining.

He left the venue immediately after the ceremony.

Deputy Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, Minister for Health and Family Welfare R. Ashok and Minister for Science and Technology Ramachandra Gowda were present.

The work is being taken up by the Karnataka Road Development Corporation Ltd. (KRDCL).

It is being implemented by Nagarjuna Construction Co. Ltd. The project has to be completed within 15 months.

A 375-metre Ramp 1 takes traffic from Bangalore on Bangalore Mysore Road towards the ring road with a "U" turn where vehicles can cross the highway on a grade separator to join the Outer Ring Road with a ramp.

Vehicles from the Outer Ring Road towards Mysore can take a right turn on a 570-metre Ramp 2 to join Bangalore Mysore Road after crossing the highway on a grade separator.

A 275-metre Ramp 3 will facilitate traffic from Mysore Road to join Outer Ring Road with a grade separator ramp after a left turn. Traffic from Outer Ring Road would take a left turn on a grade separator and join the Bangalore Mysore Road towards the city on a 130-metre Ramp 4.

The carriageway on the grade separators and ramps is nine metres wide.
