BMRDA Notifies New Mobility Road Grid to Address Bengaluru Urban Traffic
The Bengaluru Metropolitan Region Development Authority (BMRDA) has notified a new mobility road grid covering hundreds of roads beyond the Greater Bengaluru Authority area to address traffic congestion and unplanned development. The plan involves widening existing village and district roads, some up to 90 metres wide, based on a drone survey. Property owners in Bengaluru Urban district may need to relinquish land for these roads, with compensation offered if acquisition occurs before development. The timeline for road construction remains uncertain, ranging from two to ten years.
