Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway: Kengeri bottleneck comes into focus
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the 119-km Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway on Sunday, a traffic bottleneck at the end of the expansive highway has come into focus.
Vehicles moving from Mysuru to Bengaluru face traffic jams as the elevated expressway winds down at Kengeri, near Rajarajeswari Medical College and Hospital. The problem gets acute on Sunday evenings and Monday mornings.
Travellers have complained about how all the time saved by the expressway is lost around the NICE Road Junction.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) says it’s aware of the problem and ready to provide a solution provided the BBMP or the state government bears the cost of land acquisition at Kengeri.
