Karnataka Government Assures Minimal Traffic Disruption During Hebbal Elevated Corridor Construction
Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) have assured that the Hebbal elevated corridor project, aimed at easing Bengaluru's traffic congestion, will be completed within 18 months without fully halting traffic. Construction will maintain partial road access, with temporary restrictions mainly on heavy vehicles. Alternative routes and traffic management plans are in place to minimize commuter inconvenience. The government is also seeking defence land to widen roads near Mehkri Circle and is exploring multiple infrastructure projects to improve traffic flow.
