Bengaluru Begins 18-Month Construction on Ballari Road Elevated Corridor with Traffic Restrictions
Starting November 6, Bengaluru's Ballari Road will undergo 18 months of construction for a four-lane elevated corridor between UAS Staff Quarters and Mehkri Circle, aiming to ease congestion near Hebbal junction. During this period, all goods vehicles and buses will be banned from the stretch, with cars, two-wheelers, and school buses allowed. Authorities have announced multiple alternative routes, though some are already congested. The project includes dismantling existing flyovers and is expected to impact airport commutes significantly, with police coordinating traffic management and road upgrades.
