“New Hebbal loop from Veerannapalya side to Baptist is open for trial, public can use it...followed by official inauguration soon,” the official wrote on X. The new Hebbal flyover loop has been constructed to reduce traffic congestion at the Hebbal Junction, which is one of the most choked points in Bengaluru. The Hebbal Junction handles thousands of vehicles daily coming from KR Puram, Nagavara and the airport road.

The ACP’s post triggered a wave of reactions on the internet, with some welcoming the move and others flagging concerns about ground-level traffic management. Highlighting a case at Hebbal Junction, a user wrote, “Request needful Action to ensure random stopping of buses & other vehicles below Hebbal Flyover impeding vehicle movements, (particularly from Esteem to enter Flyover Loop) must be strictly disallowed.” Responding to this, the official wrote, “Planning to move all buses to the service road from Vidyashilp till Hebbal.”
While praising the move, another user wrote, “Great to see the Hebbal loop from Veerannapalya to Baptist open for trial—finally some relief at the notorious Hebbal bottleneck! And let’s not forget bus stops and merging lanes at Baptist need cues to prevent new trouble spots.”
Another user raised concerns about chaos at the down ramp. “Sir, what’s the plan at the down ramp? Already observed vehicles merging and creating chaos this morning. Buses entering the service road, vehicles from this new flyover entering the main road,” he wrote on X.
The Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Traffic Northeast Division, invited the public to use the newly constructed Hebbal loop and provide feedback to efficiently manage Bengaluru’s traffic woes. “Please suggest..... I'm keen on public opinion,” he added.
