The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will build service roads near the Yelahanka Airforce Base, which will help in the smooth flow of the traffic on the highway that leads to the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA). The highway does not have service roads from the end of BSF headquarters to Hunasamaranahalli Lake.
Mid-May, the airport road witnessed inundation due to incessant rains as a portion of the low-lying area of the highway near the airbase was flooded with rain water, resulting in a traffic pile-up for miles. Unable to reach the airport on time, many had missed flights.
Flyers had slammed the NHAI for failing to clear the waterlogging on one of the prominent highways for which a hefty toll fee is being collected from road users.
