Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar inaugurated Bengaluru's Major Arterial Road, a 10.7-km, 10-lane, signal-free, and toll-free corridor named after former CM S M Krishna. Built at a cost of Rs 631 crore, the road connects Mysuru Road and Magadi Road, reducing travel time from 60 to 20 minutes.

A 'Wall of Gratitude' will honor landowners who contributed land for the project.
