Bengaluru News: Bannerghatta Road’s main stretch, from Dairy Circle Junction to the Indian Christian Cemetery near Hosur Road will be opened to commuters soon. The section had been partially shut for almost 4 years for underground construction of two metro stations under the Pink Line. The partial closure had led to traffic chaos with commuters opting for alternative routes.

The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has started restoring the road to full use, said a report by The Times of India.

Traffic above the completed Lakkasandra Metro station has been fully resumed. One-way movement towards Lakkasandra began on Wednesday. This section lies over the Dairy Circle station. As per officials, two-way traffic will be allowed soon.

For commuters, the reopening has brought much-needed relief. Yet, many motorists complain that the freshly opened stretch remains far from ideal.

As civil works near completion, the full reopening of Bannerghatta Road is expected to greatly improve traffic flow for thousands who use the route every day.
