Ballari Road Diversions Begin for Bengaluru Airport Corridor

Traffic diversions have begun on Ballari Road in Bengaluru following the start of construction on a four-lane elevated corridor linking the University of Agricultural Sciences staff quarters with Mehkri Circle. The restrictions are expected to remain in place for 18 months and will affect motorists travelling to Kempegowda International Airport (KIA).

The Bengaluru traffic police have prohibited heavy, medium and light goods vehicles, along with Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) and private buses, from using the affected stretch. The measure is intended to manage traffic on the route connecting the city with the airport while the project is under construction.

The 1.6-km corridor will run from the UAS staff quarters on Ballari Road to a raised rotary flyover at Mehkri Circle. The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has awarded the Rs. 4.2 bn project to Hyderabad-based Auro Infra, with an 18-month execution schedule.

Motorists travelling towards the airport from central Bengaluru have been advised to use Old High Grounds junction, Kalpana junction, Old Udaya TV junction, Cantonment railway station, Tannery Road and Nagawara Road. Travellers from Yeshwanthpur can take Mattikere Road, turn right at BEL Circle and continue on the Ring Road.

Vehicles travelling from the airport or Hebbal towards central Bengaluru can use several alternative routes. These include Nagawara junction, Bamboo Bazaar and Queens Road; Hebbal Ring Road, Kuvempu Circle, Goraguntepalya junction and Dr Rajkumar Road; or BHEL junction, Maramma Circle and Margosa Road. Local traffic can use the service road near Baptist Hospital, continue to CBI junction and rejoin Ballari Main Road, while vehicles bound for Anand Nagar, R T Nagar and Jayamahal Road can proceed through Anand Nagar Cross.
