Going over Cauvery Junction Underpass

tsubba - 28-JAN-2008

Back-of-the-envelope analysis and some rough sketches to understand the cauvery junction underpass solution. Looks like the palike will need more than the magic of precast boxes to make this work.

Existing situation

'Pre-Cast' Solution - Koramangala 100Ft Rd

Naveen - 6-DEC-2007

Now that solutions to traffic conflicts may be possible with underpasses using pre-cast arches, & after watching the Koramangala 100-ft rd video, I tried to see if I could find solution/s for the stretch from Sarjapur rd to 80 ft rd.

The problem is obviously that mainstream traffic on 100 ft road is interrupted & conflicts with local traffic moving from the western to the eastern sides of the road & vice-versa. Also, some of the mainstream traffic turns & moves to the east or west. So, this also needs to be addressed.
The situation is further complicated with limited spacing between these deviations. In less than a half km of the road stretch, there are two main roads that join on each side of the road.

Quick-fix solutions for traffic snarls! Quick?
