BDA Begins 18-Month Elevated Corridor Construction Affecting Bengaluru Airport Traffic
The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) will begin constructing a four-lane elevated corridor between UAS Staff Quarters and Mehkri Circle on November 6, affecting traffic to Kempegowda International Airport for 18 months. To ease congestion during construction, all goods vehicles and buses are prohibited on Ballari Road, with alternative routes advised for commuters and emergency vehicles. The project, costing around Rs 420-2,215 crore, aims to decongest Hebbal junction but has faced environmental concerns, including a National Green Tribunal stay on tree-felling.
