| ![]() Unfortunately, that hasn't happened either. In the two CBD spots where the wider sidewalks are supposedly complete (St. Marks Road and the road leading from Bangalore Central to Garuda Mall), they're used to store construction material or dug up again for some sundry reason. Net result after TWO years of traffic hardship, a big fat ZERO and traffic has got worse due to reduced road surface. ![]() |

Seriously even I want to know who or what is this TenderSURE ?!?! If st marks and residency road was not enough, now they've dug up KG Road and Nruputunga Road too. On a serious note, already we donot have enough roads for the amount of vehicles in namma Bengaluru and these guys are hell bent on making footpaths that are as WIDE as a single lane of a major expressway.

| ![]() Have you noticed that almost all the stretches that saw a fresh layer of asphalt were already decent? Case in point, Hosur road between Silk board and E-City. They've cleverly laid a fresh layer where there was practically no reason for any repairs. And they left the occasional pothole untouched. Instead of quickly fixing the Madiwala market road, they're taking eons to lay concrete there. And Silk Board flyover is only getting worse, while the stretches before and after saw a fresh layer of tar. |

| ![]() Been using Residency road towards HAL airport road and got to experience the slow moving traffic. If this is what Tender SURE does, its really bad. when some idealist armchair types are allowed to dictate this is what happens. Do we have so much pedestrian traffic in the first place to have such wide footpaths? Even Mysore road was choked for when I used it. Guess the major culprit here is the non-completion of the flyover exit towards mysore from vijayanagar side and vehicles taking right at anjaneya temple. We need someone from outside coming and telling us what all we have screwed up. We cant do it ourselves. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hebbal flyover: good and bad news. They have resurfaced it after many years but now the span joints are a fair bit lower than the surface, hence be prepared for a bumpy ride on those portions especially on the airport bound side. Problem is that careful drivers are slowing down but those who don't know or don't care are unprepared. It's currently perfect for rear ending especially during off peak hours. |

| ![]() I think most of the road laying is being done by the State govt funds. They were also waiting for the elections to be over or something. Airport road near command hospital has been laid with a thick layer of asphalt. Not sure if the complete road was bad or anything. |

| ![]() Any update on the Madiwala Market Road? Seems like its taking forever. I saw on some earlier thread that someone filed an RTI. Cant seem to figure why such a small stretch needs so much time. ![]() |

| ![]() It is high time for Govt to construct sky walker @ outer ring road at 1. Eco space 2. Intel office 3. Innovative multiplex before any tragedy happens. These junctions are perfect recipe for disasters. Not sure when the Govt agencies will wake up. |

Even now when a new flyover is being constructed at Samsung signal, there is no footbridge in plan which means traffic will be piled up before/after the flyover just like Bellandur/Ecospace flyover. | |

| ![]() This just turned up on social media - I guess at least some people get work done instead of playing candy crush saga while stuck in Bangalore traffic |

| ![]() Some improvement expected on the Outer Ring Road per this news Source Hopefully, they will keep the ongoing maintenance of such work as a priority. Last edited by sunishsamuel : 16th January 2016 at 17:26. |
