Bengaluru's Revamped Outer Ring Road to Include Bus, Cycle Lanes and Community Spaces
The revamped Outer Ring Road (ORR) stretch between Silk Board Junction and K.R. Puram in Bengaluru will feature dedicated bus and cycle lanes, an elevated Namma Metro corridor, and repurposed spaces under flyovers into community areas with seating, markets, and a gig hub. The project aims for seamless integration of transport modes, improved access to tech parks and transit points, and better stormwater management. However, bus and cycle lanes will not be physically segregated, a point noted by a civic activist regarding their effectiveness.
