Bengaluru Civic Body to Build 10-Km Expressway Linking Banashankari

BBMP plans to reduce traffic congestion on Kanakapura Road with a 10-km expressway connecting Banashankari to NICE Road. This project aims to improve traffic flow and ease travel in the area.

The Rs.1,200 crore project aims to ease traffic on one of Bengaluru’s busiest corridors, Kanakapura Road, The New Indian Express reported.

The expressway project gained urgency after Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar called for an alternative route due to Metro construction on Kanakapura Road. In a letter to BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath, Shivakumar highlighted severe traffic issues and proposed using the BWSSB pipeline road for the new expressway.

According to TNIE, Shivakumar stated ,“Kanakapura Road is a major link to Bengaluru city, and the rising traffic has caused significant hardships. As Metro construction limits the feasibility of grade separators, an alternative arrangement is necessary. A flyover along the BWSSB pipeline road, parallel to the current stretch, will ease this pressure.”

BBMP officials confirmed that tenders for the DPR will be released soon. Senior engineers stressed the urgent need for the expressway, the report added.
