Bollards, which physically demarcate the bus priority lane (BPL), on Outer Ring Road (ORR) that were recently blamed for obstructing the roadway and causing accidents on stretches where Namma Metro construction work is under way will be removed till the metro work is completed.
A decision to this effect was recently taken at a meeting of senior officials with the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), and Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL), following the recommendation of Bengaluru City Traffic Police.
“We have asked the contractors to remove all the bollards temporarily till metro work is completed. In the next two days, all bollards will be removed,” B.R. Ravikanthe Gowda, Joint Commissioner (Traffic), said.
