Bengaluru Traffic Advisory: Commuters in the city should prepare for traffic diversions as the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) initiates white-topping work on a key stretch of road within the HAL Airport Traffic Police limits. The section between Myntra Apartments and Bellandur Kodi on Devarabisanahalli-Sakra Hospital Main Road will be closed to all vehicular traffic for the next 60 days, starting November 5, 2024. This closure aims to enhance road quality but will require drivers to find alternative routes.
To facilitate smooth traffic flow during the closure, the Bengaluru Traffic Police have outlined several diversion routes:
From Yamalur to Devarabisanahalli and Bellandur: Commuters can use Old Airport Road, Yamalur Junction, Marathahalli Bridge, Kadubeesanahalli Bridge and then proceed along the Outer Ring Road.
From Yamalur to Kadubeesanahalli and Devarabisanahalli: Drivers should turn left at Yamalur Kodi, continue via Old Airport Road and Yamalur Junction, and take Kariyammana Agrahara Road to reach their destinations.
From Yamalur to Outer Ring Road: Vehicles should turn right at Yamalur Kodi towards Bellandur Kodi, pass through Yamalur Junction and Yamalur Village, then continue to the Outer Ring Road.
From Devarabisanahalli and Bellandur to the City: Commuters should turn left onto the Outer Ring Road, proceed to Kadubeesanahalli Bridge, pass through Marathahalli Bridge, and head towards the city via Yamalur Junction.
From Kadubeesanahalli and Devarabisanahalli to the City: Drivers should turn right at Kariyammana Agrahara towards Yamalur Kodi, go through Yamalur Village, and reach Old Airport Road to continue into the city.
