| ![]() Alert to people going from EGL , Inner Ring Road via Yemalur to Bellandur , Ecospace or Airport Road via Yemalur village to Bellandur, Sarjapur. The road is not foreign to traffic jams but the road parallel to the lake has been dug up. This is courtesy Irrigation Department. These geniuses have widened the road along the airport wall with two concrete pipes and mud in order to divert the traffic. The traffic at the T junction is totally in chaos. No cops seen. Yesterday it was left to the wind. Today the villagers have taken to controlling traffic. It took 1 1/2 hours to cover 2 kms. More traffic chaos to come as the government is suddenly on a road improvement and infrastructure enhancement spree. |

| ![]() As of this evening, the Inner Ring Road stretch between Emabssy golf links and Ejipura signal was asphalted and there were several flexes on both sides of the road with pictures of politicos claiming credit for the work of "Asphalting to Inner Ring road" ![]() |

| ![]() It's raining tar in Bangalore. Today on my way to office, I saw the road works at 3 places. I wish the elections come every year. ![]() Last edited by ampere : 30th January 2018 at 19:23. Reason: Edited non-forum emojis |

| ![]() Drove on the white topped yeshwantpur stretch. Oh what a bhagya it is! Uneven surface, bouncy ride, unfinished shoulder - couldn't think of a better way to spend tax money ![]() |

| ![]() On the topic of white topping: http://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.co...w/62701794.cms It seems they have done 9 of 53 km so far. |

| ![]() I have used the white topped road on the Adugodi to St.John'ssignal stretch. In my honest opinion, they could have looked at a better way to burn tax payers money. The stretch is uneven, does not inspire confidence, appears sharp. The tyres are bound to take a hit over a period of time. The shoulders are not yet completed, so there is a big risk in the night if we over shoot the road, the car will land in a trough. ![]() They seriously need to re-look at this project and put the money to better use without inconveniencing the public at large. |

I got a chance to drive through the Hennur side of the completed stretch, its far from perfection. Its rough, uneven and dangerous at many spots. Do they expect the concrete mixture to level by itself over the months ? Whom to ask ? Majority of the city is going through concrete works and road repairs, broadening etc. I sometimes wonder, why it took 5 years for an administration to understand basic infrastructure was unattended ? End of the term, we see all of it coming together as a bomb on people. Its inconvenience everywhere because all the departments got a fire on their tail at this moment !!!

I am just hoping that they complete the other half of the stretch between the madiwala checkpost signal and St Johns. Even though they have put tar and given a slope to correct the height difference it still is not safe. | |

| ![]() The tone and the tenor of this article suggests that "How on earth can someone reach THE AIRPORT without paying the 'Hafta/Chauth/Ransom' to the sarakari authorised goons of this country? Let's see". In any advanced society (read country) we have multiple roads to reach an important destination but in India it's the other way round. They will create such a drought of resources and infrastructure that will force the mango people of this country to route themselves from a badly managed tunnel which should/would/could benefit the private/semi-govt player of their choice. The job of the govt is to provide service to the citizens and not act as lobbying agent of these goons who are worried about the loss of profit.I think we need some kind of court case for them to learn the lesson like the DND flyover in NCR. But the govt has ensured that we are so busy negotiating the Marathallis and Graphite India's of this city that by the time someone reaches home, the only constructive work he can do is to sit idle for few seconds and not curse anyone he saw/met on the road today. ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() Traffic alert for those who take Tin Factory ~ KR Puram Railway Station ORR stretch. Took close to 30 minutes for me to cross KR Puram from Kasturi Nagar, I thought that to be the usual Private Buses parked near the railway station to be the reasons, but then I was only partially right, the other reason was a Canter broke down on another lane at the same vicinity. By the time I crossed the folks were making all efforts to move the canter with the help of a Crane that was passing through. Hope the ripple effect traffic would have cleared by now. So even for a start before 7AM still you'll have surprises once in a week ![]() |

Development of a city is like painting a masterpiece, for the final result to be stunning, one must have a clean, white, absorbent canvas.. by that standard the plans for Bangalore is akin to Claude Monet painting on a rag-cloth drenched in oil and dirt that is used by blue-collar workers. Quote:
