Bengaluru's Ballari Road Traffic Diverted for 18 Months for Elevated Corridor Construction
Starting November 6, Bengaluru's Ballari Road will undergo 18 months of traffic disruptions due to the Bangalore Development Authority's construction of a four-lane elevated corridor between UAS Staff Quarters and Mekhri Circle. To ease congestion, all goods vehicles and KSRTC and private buses are banned from this stretch. Alternative routes have been provided for commuters traveling to Kempegowda International Airport and central Bengaluru. The project aims to improve traffic flow but may extend beyond the planned timeline.
