Bengaluru Plans Elevated Corridors to Ease Traffic; Phase Two Faces Delay

Bengaluru plans a 28-km elevated corridor between Yeshwanthpur and KR Puram to ease severe traffic congestion, part of a larger initiative to build 11 elevated corridors totaling over 119 km. The first phase covering 75.6 km is government-funded, while the second phase, adding 44 km including two flyovers, faces a likely two-year delay due to operational challenges. Additional measures like tunnel roads and junction improvements are also planned to improve traffic flow.
