Bengaluru: Peenya flyover shut, brace for traffic diversions

Bengaluru: Commuters on Tumakuru Road (NH-4) are in for a testing week as the Sri Shivakumar Swamiji Flyover (Peenya Elevated Flyover) will be completely closed to all vehicular traffic for 102 hours starting April 13.

The closure, requested by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), is to facilitate final load testing following the completion of cable repair and replacement works on the structure. The restriction will be in place from 5 am on April 13 (Monday) to 11 am on April 17 (Friday).

According to Peenya Traffic Police, the restriction applies to the entire stretch from the Kennametal Widia upper ramp to the SRS down ramp, effectively blocking the flyover from CMTI Junction to the Parle-G toll.
