The flyover on the outer of YPR has been opened one way. This flyover connects Gorgunteplaya to BEL circle on the ring road. I noticed this yesterday.
-
With the opening of this flyover:
- Trains from TK line towards YPR will no longer be held up at YPR outer.
-...
more... The freight trains coming from BAND or YNK and using the YPR bypass towards TK wont be held up after LOGH, thereby not blocking the line for passenger trains coming from YNK or BAND side.
- YPR PFs will be freed up to an extent, so that trains towards TK won't be held up at PF awaiting the closure of railway gate (which totally depends on Traffic Police orders).

Though a much awaited and always in the news flyover, a formal inauguration doesn't seem to have taken place. The reason being that the 'Pravasi Bharatiya Divas 2017' to be held this weekend on Tumakuru Road-Exhibition grounds. With many dignitaries slated to use that road and one closure of the railway gate at YPR outer having cascading traffic effect on Tumakuru road, the opening has happened without much pomp. Hopefully in a couple of days the other way too is opened, so that train movement is unhindered and delays at YPR is minimised.
