29 Jul 2024 CW Team

Bengaluru is set to undergo a major transformation with the construction of 17 elevated corridors aimed at making 100 kilometres of the city's roads signal-free. This ambitious project is part of the Karnataka government's broader initiative to alleviate traffic congestion and improve urban mobility.

The elevated corridors will connect key areas of the city, significantly reducing travel time and easing the flow of traffic. The project is designed to tackle the city's notorious traffic jams by providing uninterrupted travel routes that bypass signal intersections. This move is expected to enhance the efficiency of the city's transportation network and improve overall quality of life for residents.

Construction is slated to commence soon, with the corridors planned to span major thoroughfares and densely populated areas. The new infrastructure will include advanced features to accommodate increasing traffic volumes and ensure safety and convenience for commuters.

The initiative aligns with the city?s goal of modernizing its transport infrastructure and supporting sustainable urban growth. By creating signal-free routes, the project aims to boost economic activity, reduce vehicle emissions, and make daily commutes smoother and faster.

Overall, these elevated corridors are poised to be a significant step forward in Bengaluru's urban planning efforts, addressing pressing traffic issues while laying the groundwork for future development and innovation in the city's transportation infrastructure.
