Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hebbal mess inbound to Bangalore City. Both the entry/exits in front of Manipal Hospital & Esteem Mall have been barricaded off. As a result, there is no merging possible. Traffic is somewhat better on the service road. Main flyover carriageway is badly backed up for quite a distance. Check Maps carefully before travelling inbound and decide whether to take the flyover or stay below on the service roads. |

| ![]() With white topping in progress on parts of CMH road and 100 feet road in Indiranagar, traffic is a mess trying to get around the work in progress sections. The one side where the work has been completed on CMH road is now a free for all parking lot! ![]() |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() WFH today but I think they have opened at least the barricaded entry/exit points. Traffic congestion seems to be less than yesterday at least. |

| ![]() Service road from HSR to Iblur junction is now closed for drain repair work. It will be like this for couple of weeks atleast (looking at how long the service road next to Agara lake is closed). Do not even think of going by car during peak traffic this side. Today morning traffic was jammed all around agara junction due to this sudden change. I was able to do what any biker do and go through the narrow gaps between cars and buses. Follow my lead and ride a bike if you have to pass this stretch during peak hours. ![]() |

| ![]() While Bangalore traffic is back with a vengeance, I observed something interesting(This is in and around the IT belt of ORR, Sarjapur Road). Pre-pandemic times, out of 10 cars on the road, 7 would be cabs. Today, post pandemic, it seems the opposite. Of 10 cars on the road, only 3 are cabs and the rest are private cars. Two Wheelers also seem to have increased drastically. Earlier you would see cabs parked all over the place anywhere where there is a gap, now you do not see that anymore. The reasons for this are well know. Less cabs on the road, pandemic impact to the drivers, huge increase in rates, lesser company transportations, people getting used to own transport, lesser car pooling etc. Also probably explains why even with probably 30% of the IT crowd regularly back to office, the traffic looks and feels like the pre-pandemic levels in the IT corridors. |

during peak hours, I generally take the current suggested route almost always, and have found this to be faster provided the traffic under the flyover waiting for signal towards BEL side does not back up too far. But with all the traffic from under the elevated highway waiting at the signal, wonder what will happen there!! There is barely enough space for a free left towards the loop before the signal. |

![]() Airport->KR puram, take the service road Airport->Tumakur Road, , take the service road The consequence would probably that the Hebbal Circle would become very busy. But looking at the traffic volumes (received from a whats app fwd), this should make the current bad situation, slightly better. ![]() | |

They're just moving around choke-points. Instead of the mess where service road joined the main carriageway, it'll now happen on the flyover where the on-ramp merges in, a few hundred meters ahead. Also, the service road towards the signal is barely two lanes, so expect both the service road leading upto the signal and the spillover to ORR towards KR Puram to cause a secondary nightmare for ORR commuters. Anyone coming that way and working along ORR (Manyata or beyond) will be ![]() Quote:

Fun fact: there's Metro work at that interchange spot (I use it regularly), and it'll get significantly narrower as work progresses. If it now has to act as the defacto expressway-service road interchange for city-bound traffic, welcome to another circle of hell. Last edited by Chetan_Rao : 7th July 2022 at 12:38. | |
