After completing all the chores at the office, my brother with the team left to Hosur for a client visit. We knew it would be a loooong drive (1 and half hours) from our office to the site. I got comfortable with a book and was reading through the pages and enjoying the journey.
Music played its role and so did the heat of the mid day. We had to route ourselves from Koramangala and move on ahead from there. We crossed the busy streets of Koramangala, the fly over at Byapanahhali and entered the road that leads to the Electronic City. Now this was getting interesting a drive, as I could spot a lot of new swanky buildings that have cropped up on this road.
Surprisingly I saw a construction site ahead, all of a sudden and realized there was a flyover getting constructed. Thinking it is a flyover and will end soon, we were moving on. But wait... this flyover never seemed to end. Pillar after pillar, it continued.
I just happened to see the signage of the project, since it really did not look like a Bangalore company. The signage was that of the Highway Authorities of India. Further down, managed to peak into the Project Information placed at one of the signal posts, which said Elevated Highway Project. So this long stretch of road was an Elevated Highway.
The pillars went to moving by the window of my car till we realized there were around 250 pillas erected on a single strecth of road. The pillars had almost everywhere roads above them, except for some places where the work is still going on.
On our return , we calculated the distance from the start to the end and we realized this would be one of the longest 'Elevated Highways' measuring 9 Kms.
Thats Long!
