Karnataka Plans ₹450 Crore Redevelopment of Bengaluru Outer Ring Road and Metro Trial Runs
The Karnataka government plans to redevelop a 17-km stretch of Bengaluru's Outer Ring Road (ORR) between Silk Board junction and K.R. Puram metro station with a budget of ₹450 crore, aiming to create a model mobility corridor. Proposed changes include wider footpaths, redesigned junctions, and white-topping the main carriageway, which may cause traffic disruptions. Concurrently, trial runs for the Namma Metro Blue Line are set to begin in October, with commercial operations expected by 2027. Public feedback is being sought before finalizing designs.
