Finally Chinnappanahalli Main road and Alpine Eco Road will be asphalted. And along with the bylanes in this area which will provide some alternative roads. Will be abroad the next month and hopefully by the time I come back the new roads wont be dug up again. ![]() | |

From GE tech center, you have to turn left and proceed straight till you reach the Nallurahalli road junction. I It is here that a major construction work is going on. | |

Not sure how long the construction work will go on. As of now the stretch I am talking about is still motorable. Please see the enclosed image as to where one should take diversion. It is basically a mud road. ![]() Last edited by suresh_gs : 3rd March 2016 at 10:54. | |

| ![]() I used to frequent the Nallurahalli-Vydehi stretch. With the junction dug up and rendered unusable, commuters were resorting to alternate routes in and around the same junction. But one-by-one, the locals have started to close them off. While they might have their reasons, I don't see how public roads can be closed off for private reasons. Rant #2: I was at the Shell Bunk near Graphite India last night. I filled up fuel and was leaving the bunk and was taking note of oncoming traffic to cross the road and take a U-Turn to head back towards Graphite India. Just when I found some space and started to move forward, a lady on a scooter darts in front of me! Where did she come from? THE WRONG SIDE! If I had started moving a second later, we would have collided. That is when I realized that this is the second near miss I have had outside the same bunk for the same reason. The sheer number of lunatics here who ride on the wrong side of the road is annoying to say the least. |

I second whatever you have said. Nowadays its always better to see to your left and right before crossing or entering into a main road. It doesnt matter if its a one way or not. People drive in every direction possible. Also on a humorous note, its better to check left, right and above especially if you are below a bridge or a flyover. | |

She was on a Scooty and with no helmet. She could barely touch the road with her feet and she was accelerating in such a way like how some people do when they are learning to drive. She had to cut across in front of me from the left and join the opposite direction traffic to the right. I saw the way she was driving and stopped almost ten feet away to let her clear the turn because I was almost sure she will fall on the hood. After crossing me ,she had to merge with the other side in front of a cab and I was sure there was going to be some touching, thankfully this lady neither looked over her shoulder to check for any traffic nor did the cabbie bother about her cutting in front of him. It is so simple that when a car or two wheeler is bought, it is not about just jumping on and drive or ride. This lady was the perfect example of that .

| ![]() Mad traffic in and around Mekhri circle BEL road, Hebbal flyover, Outer Ring Road near Hebbal. Good luck to anyone trying to reach airport today or north Bangalore. Please plan accordingly. Apparently some protests by farmers. |

Just got an update from my transport team. Traffic congestion in and around mekhri circlr, vidana soudha, old madras road, tin factory. It is being led by Mr Kodihalli Chandrasekhar and farmers from chickaballapur, kolar have organised "vidhana soudha chalo" protest. Thousands of them are coming in trucks and tractors demanding for permanent water supply to their fields. Traffic will be thrown out of gear. Beware!!! | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Took me 2.5 hrs from MG Road to Sanjaynagar. I was aware of the block at Mekhri Circle and tried almost all routes. But all roads in North Bangalore are jammed. People make sure you are carrying water bottles. Its a nightmare today!! |

| ![]() I had to visit a location next to Baptist Hospital from Sahakarnagar Side around 15:30 and was completely unaware of the the state till I noticed stationary traffic atop KIAL Elevated Road right at Kodigehalli Signal itself. I was expecting the worse and it indeed was. Took me more than 10 mins to take left at Godrej Apartments and then I continued on this road passing Nagwara Lake to Veerannapalya Signal, Kanakanagar and then this location next to Baptist Hospital. ![]() While returning back after spending an hour from here, I took the usual route via Hebbal Flyover and everything was normal and there I noticed that the Hebbal Flyover was closed towards City side. ![]() This is due to the protests by farmers at Mekhri Circle as I could notice few tractors at Esteem Mall with green flags. |

| ![]() It's mind-boggling how anyone is allowed to hijack a public utility for ANY purpose with scant regard for the general public. |
