Karnataka Begins Elevated Corridor Construction with Traffic Management Plans in Bengaluru
The Karnataka government has begun constructing an 18-month, Rs 445.7-crore elevated corridor from Hebbal to Mehkri Circle to ease Bengaluru's traffic congestion. Authorities assure that traffic will not be fully halted; two lanes and a service road on Kempegowda International Airport Road will remain open, with restrictions on heavy vehicles during specific times. Alternative routes and connecting roads are being developed to minimize disruption. The project includes an elevated rotary junction and down-ramps, aiming to improve connectivity for daily commuters and airport travelers.
