Useless Flyover

Necessity is the mother of all inventions, from past 100 years world has invented lot many things and which are more than inventions happened till now on this earth, using them in proper way makes much more sense like uranium ,using it for electricity rather than for atomic bomb, this is other side. let’s take another example of mixi and fruit juice ,fruit juice is meant for those who can’t able to digest the fruit ,who are not well actually who want instantly…if you look into many kitchens they cut the fruits and put them into mixi and convert that into juice and drink. Instead of taking the fruit normally and naturally because of mixi they convert that into juice, I mean to say that because of mixi there juice idea came into picture and without that also we can ,we are not using them purposely they are making our life to fit for the use.
These things come to my mind when I saw silk board to EC flyover if same thing was gone into live in some other developed countries then its ok but countries like India it is seemed to be very costly.
Very initially we should understand the basic needs for which we need flyovers
a) First point is that when the road is narrow, where we can’t extend the breadth of the road and volumes of vehicles will increases, we have to allow the movement of vehicles in the available space only at that time we can use flyovers without extending the breadth of road making one more floor.
b) Secondly when there are many junctions across the main road (sub main roads which connect to that main road) even they may be small roads with less density of vehicles connecting to man road also leads to wait the vehicles which are passing across main road I.e. let it be 3 km of road where you will get nearly 6 to 7 junctions even if it is 30 sec passing time for one side you have to wait for 90 sec for your turn, if you get such 3 to 4 signals out of all then you need 10 odd min to cross 3 KM.
c) The destinations of flyovers should be present/future commercial/industrial hubs, unless otherwise they may not be much flow towards the destinations
d) The destination, should leads to some highways or that should split the junctions in such a way that taking vehicles from different junctions and allow them to cross those junctions without signals
These are the basics necessities for flyovers by default we can have high speed journey, less no of accidents….
Let’s keep the first two points in mind and discuss with the EC flyover
Before Flyover there are 6 lines each side if you calculate each line is about 3 to 4 meter. one side easily you will get 80 to 90 feet where you can diverge two wheelers, heavy vehicles, Autos, Public transportation vehicles , nonstop vehicles also you can allocate space for service line since you are getting huge width along both the side you can easily allow nonstop vehicles from Silk board to EC, If one side alone can allow 6 line of vehicles then applying thought of flyover is simply foolish.
Secondly issues of junctions across the 10 KM of Highway hardly you will get 5/6 junctions (Bommanahalli, singasandra, hosaroad, koodlugate, EC phase 1) I may left one or two only for these much stupid junctions we were constructed 10KM of flyovers, rather than for smooth drive, at worst case we could have 3 to 4 flyovers perpendicular to highway that is at Bommanahalli, singasandra,…
If so have totally 1.5 to 2 KM flyovers, how simple logic is having 10 KM of flyovers of 2 lines above or having 2 KM with 6 lines below any foolish can judge this.
And last two points will hold for the destinations.
Government should think twice and must get some valuable suggestion from society before investing a huge amounts like 980 crore, simply to show that we are doing lots of infrastructure for IT people they should not act like senseless this is may be central government and NHAI project but before allocating such a big project which took nearly 3 to 4 years for completion they should think many aspects like longitivity, which section of society will get benefit from it and many things.
Past is past, there is no solution for past because it always win against us thing is in future we have to take care from such worthless project
