The Government of Karnataka is working on the development of various roads. Around 154 km of the city’s capital, Bengaluru, is being developed to reduce pressure on the capital’s roads by 20 percent. The city had traffic entering due to the presence of the Kempegowda International Airport.
Bengaluru’s main road is being expanded from two lanes to four lanes and elevated. This will reduce traffic congestion by at least 20 percent in Bengaluru. No new roads are being built under this project instead the State Highway and District Main Road will be widened.
KRDCL Chief Engineer R. Prasad informed ‘Kannadaprabha’ that the work will be completed soon. The plan was formulated three years ago but work was delayed due to legal complications.
Kempegowda International Airport, near Devanahalli, is one of the three largest airports in the country. Hundreds of flights operate from here every day and freight rate is high. New roads are being developed to facilitate freight transport from the airport to various parts of the state.
