One of the suggestions is the construction of a new loop for motorists travelling towards Tumakuru Road by dismantling the existing loop
In a bid to decongest Hebbal junction, one of the most notorious traffic gridlocks in the city, the State Government has proposed several infrastructure projects. Among the prominent solutions is the construction of a new two-lane flyover to the west of the existing three-lane flyover for traffic movingfrom the city towards Kempegowda International Airport (KIA).
A report from Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES), which was tasked with forming a master plan to decongest the junction, stated that piers of the new flyover would come up on the Hebbal Lake bund. The bund area will be restored to its original condition after construction is completed.
It has also proposed the construction of a three-lane flyover on the eastern side in addition to the existing two lane-flyover for motorists coming from KIA towards the city. Another proposal examines the construction of a new loop for motorists traveling towards Tumakuru Road by dismantling the existing loop.
