The incessant and heavy rains in the last few days in the city submerged many a road, and what it left is a long trail of potholed roads. Motorists, who were forced to wade dangerously through inundated roads, are now finding themselves negotiating pockmarked roads that are turning out to be just as dangerous.
Key arterial roads, including Old Madras Road, Bannerghatta Road, Indiranagar, HAL Road, Mysuru Road, Yeshwanthpur, Tumakuru Road, Vasanthnagar, Malleswaram, Central Business District roads and Outer Ring Road, have been left with potholes, resulting in slow-moving vehicles and traffic snarls.
“There are many potholes on Bannerghatta Road and construction activities of the Namma Metro make things worse. After heavy rain, roads are flooded. We can’t even see the potholes due to the rainwater,” said Manoj Kumar, who uses the road every day to travel between BTM Layout and Hullimavu.
