Bengaluru's New Arterial Road: Magadi Road to Mysuru Expressway in Minutes?

• Bengaluru's new 11 km, 10-lane arterial road connecting Magadi Road to the Bengaluru–Mysuru Expressway is nearing completion.
• The project aims to alleviate congestion and reduce travel times for residents in west Bengaluru, particularly those in Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout.
• Featuring 6 main carriageway lanes, 4 service lanes, cycle tracks, and footpaths, it's designed for high-capacity urban and long-distance traffic.
• Key engineering challenges included constructing a railway underbridge near Challaghatta and a vehicular overpass for uninterrupted flow.
• Once operational, it will significantly cut travel time, improve internal access within Kempegowda Layout, and ease pressure on existing congested routes.
