Bengaluru’s ₹5,820 Cr Elevated Corridor: These 46.5 Km Routes Could Improve Connectivity - Yeshwanthpur, KR Puram & More Areas to Benefit
Bengaluru is set to add two major elevated corridors that could improve connectivity across the city’s northern, eastern and southern stretches. Together, the projects will cover 46.5 km and involve an estimated investment of ₹5,820 crore. The proposed routes will connect key locations such as Yeshwanthpur, Mathikere, KR Puram, Ragigudda and Thalaghattapura, potentially improving road access to several established residential and commercial areas.
Bengaluru’s Two New Elevated Corridors
The two projects have a combined length of 46.5 km and an estimated cost of ₹5,820.08 crore, excluding land acquisition and utility-shifting expenses. Both are being developed under the BOOT model, under which the selected private concessionaire will build, operate and maintain the corridors and recover its investment through user fees. As both corridors are longer than 10 km, they are planned as toll-based projects.

Marenahalli–Kanakapura Main Road Elevated Corridor: Route and Connectivity
The 18.5-km elevated corridor will connect Marenahalli Main Road near Ragigudda Junction with Kanakapura Main Road through BWSSB Pipeline Road and Thalaghattapura Junction. The project is estimated to cost ₹2,283.19 crore, with up to ₹913.29 crore in government viability-gap funding. The Greater Bengaluru Authority's project registry describes the alignment as running from Marenahalli Road near Ragigudda to the Thalaghattapura/NICE Road side, through Pipeline Road along Kanakapura Road.
Yeshwanthpur–KR Puram Elevated Corridor: Route and Areas to Benefit
The 28-km corridor will connect Mathikere Cross in Yeshwanthpur with Tin Factory Junction in KR Puram. The proposed alignment will pass through IISc, Mekhri Circle, Jayamahal, St John's Church Road and Ulsoor Lake, before reaching Old Madras Road and Tin Factory. The project is estimated to cost ₹3,536.89 crore. The Greater Bengaluru Authority describes the project as an elevated corridor from Yeshwanthpura Mathikere Cross to Old Madras Road at Tin Factory, passing through IISc, Mekhri Circle, Jayamahal–St John's Church Road and Ulsoor Lake.
5 Areas That Could Benefit From Better Connectivity
The two elevated corridors will pass through several established residential and commercial areas. Better connectivity could improve access to these locations, depending on the final design and road integration.
Yeshwanthpur: The western end of the corridor, with better connectivity towards Mathikere, IISc and eastern Bengaluru.
Mathikere: Located near the starting point of the Yeshwanthpur–KR Puram corridor, with access towards IISc and central Bengaluru.
KR Puram: The eastern end of the corridor at Tin Factory, providing better access towards Old Madras Road and east Bengaluru.
Marenahalli–Ragigudda: The starting stretch of the southern corridor, with improved connectivity towards Pipeline Road and Kanakapura Road.
Thalaghattapura–Kanakapura Road: A major residential stretch along the southern corridor, with the proposed route extending towards the NICE Road side.
The projects will also pass through or connect locations such as Mekhri Circle, Jayamahal, St John's Church Road, Ulsoor Lake and Pipeline Road, improving road access across western, central, eastern and southern Bengaluru.
Other Areas That Could See Connectivity Benefits
Apart from these five locations, areas along or close to the proposed alignments could also see improved access. These include Ragigudda, Marenahalli, Pipeline Road, Mekhri Circle, Ulsoor and parts of Old Madras Road. However, the actual impact will depend on factors such as ramp locations, surface-road connectivity, traffic movement and integration with other transport infrastructure.

Real Estate Impact
The proposed elevated corridors could improve road accessibility across several established residential and commercial locations.
Yeshwanthpur: Average flat prices are around ₹13,350 per sq ft, up 51.7% in the last 3 years and 113.6% in the last 5 years.
Thalaghattapura: Average flat prices are around ₹13,450 per sq ft, up 27.5% in the last 3 years and 73.5% in the last 5 years.
Kanakapura Road: Average flat prices are around ₹12,900 per sq ft, up 61.3% in the last 3 years and 111.5% in the last 5 years.
KR Puram: Average flat prices are around ₹9,500 per sq ft, up 57.0% in the last 3 years and 91.9% in the last 5 years.
Mathikere: Average flat prices are around ₹8,950 per sq ft, up 5.3% in the last 1 year and 28.8% in the last 3 years.
The proposed infrastructure could support better accessibility in these markets. However, any impact on property prices will depend on project execution, access points, surface-road connectivity, traffic conditions and broader real-estate demand.
When Will the Elevated Corridors Be Ready?
The Yeshwanthpur–KR Puram elevated corridor has a proposed construction period of 30 months. However, both corridors are currently at the tender stage, so their exact completion dates have not yet been announced. The final timelines will depend on tender award, construction commencement, land and utility-related work and project execution.
