After Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) started commercial operations on the Green Line of Namma Metro, it was expected that traffic congestion on Tumakuru Road would come down, as it would have a metro network for over 10 km from Sandal Soap Factory station to Nagasandra.
Contrary to this expectation, traffic congestion has been increasing over the years and navigating Goraguntepalya, one of the prominent junctions on the busy road, has remained a nightmare.
Multiple projects were proposed to decongest the junction in the last one decade, but most of them remained in cold storage.
