Bengaluru, Sep 13: With a view to ensure better road connectivity and ease traffic movement and also avoid traffic congestion to the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA), the Siddaramaiah Cabinet approved a Rs 2,095 crore proposal for upgrading four major roads in and around Bengaluru city on Wednesday.
Briefing reporters after the meeting of the State Cabinet on its decisions, Karnataka’s Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs T.B. Jayachandra said the government-owned Karnataka Road Development Corporation Limited (KRDCL) would upgrade four roads with a total length of 150 km.
The four roads are:
* Hoskote-Budigere-Mylenahalli-Devanahalli International Airport Road (22 km, Rs 420 cr),
* Nelamangala-Madhure-Byatha Road (43.5 km, Rs 505 crore),
* Anekal-Attibele-Sarjapur-Vartur-Whitefield-Hosakote Road (47.5 km, Rs 625 crore), and
* Harohalli-Uruganadoddi-KIADB Industrial Area-Jigani-Anekal Road (42km, Rs 545 crore).
The four important single lane roads would be upgraded to two-lanes.
This would ease the traffic burden on the Ballari Road, besides addressing traffic congestion in and around Bengaluru city, Jayachandra said.
