Bengaluru to widen 8 roads with Rs 500 billion budget

In an effort to ease traffic congestion and accommodate the rising vehicular density in Bengaluru’s outskirts, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has approved a Rs 100-crore plan to widen eight key roads, with six of these projects located in the Yelahanka zone.

According to civic officials, the widening efforts will enhance connectivity to Kempegowda International Airport (KIA), which is a critical transit hub. The project will initially allocate Rs 50 crore for preparatory activities, including drafting detailed project reports, acquiring land, demolishing roadside structures, and resurfacing existing roads. The remaining Rs 500 milion will be used to complete the full development of the expanded roads. These works are part of BBMP’s infrastructure development budget for the 2024-25 fiscal year.

Meanwhile, Bengaluru’s traffic police have implemented temporary restrictions on the Karthiknagar stretch of the Outer Ring Road (ORR) in East Bengaluru to alleviate congestion. Starting Monday, commuters traveling towards Whitefield via Kundalahalli Gate from Marathahalli Bridge will need to take a U-turn at Karthiknagar Junction.

Similarly, those heading towards Jeevika Hospital and Chinnappanahalli can drive through Karthiknagar and make a U-turn at Doddanekkundi Junction, using the Karthiknagar service road to reach their destinations. These diversions will remain in place until further notice to streamline traffic flow along the affected routes.

These combined efforts by the BBMP and traffic authorities aim to address Bengaluru’s growing infrastructure and congestion challenges while improving commuter experiences across the city. (TOI)
