BMRDA Notifies New Road Grid to Manage Bengaluru Urban Expansion
The Bengaluru Metropolitan Region Development Authority (BMRDA) has notified a new mobility road grid covering hundreds of roads around Bengaluru Urban district to support planned urban expansion and prevent traffic congestion. The initiative, announced by Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda, involves widening existing roads and reserving land corridors for future roads, identified through drone surveys. Property owners in affected areas may need to relinquish land for road development, which could occur over the next two to ten years. The government aims to avoid infrastructure issues seen in earlier urban growth phases.
