The pace of the ongoing Namma Metro work on Bellary Road that connects Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) is likely to pick up in the coming days. The contractor of the project has partially barricaded several stretches of the National Highway’s service road.
Unlike other roads where phase II metro work is in progress, the stretch between Hebbal to Trumpet is wide, and construction will not have a major impact on vehicular movement for now. Twelve piling rig machines from K.R. Puram to Trumpet have been deployed. Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) managing director Anjum Parwez said that construction work between Hebbal and Trumpet will take place faster as no traffic diversions are required.
However, once the work starts in full swing, the service road between Allalsandra flyover junction and Hebbal will be barricaded. This will impact the traffic flow as many residential areas are located on either side of the road. Many motorists use the road to get to Outer Ring Road.
