Great news of last week was 10-lane highway in the Hosur Road.
How they are going to make it? There is going to be a Four-lane elevated highway. The existing four lane will be widened to six way with service-lane on both sides. So, all together, it will be 6+4=10 lane highway.
The elevated highway will be constructed on BOT basis. Neither Central nor state government will be investing in that. The commuters need to pay toll to use the highway. The toll amount may be bit high, because of the expenditure involved in the project.
They claim to finish the elevated part by 2008. It doesn't seem to be pragmatic !!! I predict, it cannot be operational before 2010 from the past experience in bangalore.
Existing pattern of approach to the infrastructure development should be changed to a new and an intelligent way to cater the need.
