ELCITA inaugurates footover bridge at Electronics City.

Electronics City Industrial Township Authority (ELCITA) in collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), inaugurated a footover bridge connecting the east and west phases of Electronics City on Hosur Road near the toll plaza on Thursday to avoid accidents involving pedestrians crossing the road.

“This is a useful addition to Electronics City’s infrastructure. This bridge will ensure road safety and also help reduce pollution levels as vehicles need not stop at this EC-Hosur road junction”, said Hari Prasad Hegde, Chairman, ELCITA.

sees Throughout the day, nearly 30,000 people use the stretch to cross the street. Pedestrians get hit by speeding vehicles as vehicles pick up speed just after the toll.

N S Rama, CEO, ELCITA said, “ELCITA wants to make Electronics City a pedestrian-friendly locality. This bridge is a valuable contribution towards road safety, which will help not only pedestrians but also the civic authorities like the traffic police to regulate traffic. We thank NHAI and BETPL for their approval to construct the FoB.”
