Bengaluru’s Peripheral Ring Road gets green light, well almost
Peripheral Ring Road, the proposed eight-lane bypass that will link Tumakuru Road and Hosur Road, is set to take off after being on the drawing board for years.
Put on the back burner for over a decade due to land acquisition hurdles and a funding shortage, the project recently sprang back to life after the Supreme Court ordered the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) to go ahead with acquiring land for the PRR.
The state government told the court it’s “very keen on facilitating the early execution of the PRR” and held two back-to-back meetings to finalise the technical details and tenders for the project.
