Bengaluru Traffic Advisory: Avoid using Benniganahalli flyover

Bengaluru residents advised to avoid Benniganahalli flyover due to ongoing railway repairs causing traffic congestion. Alternate routes suggested via outer ring road and Old Madras road. New metro lines between Baiyappanahalli-KR Puram and Kengeri-Challaghatta expected to open in August.

Residents of Bengaluru, who travel through Benniganahalli flyover, need to follow alternate routes to reach their destinations. The flyover connecting Baiyappanahalli and Hosuru railway stations is currently undergoing railway repairs, and thus it might lead to traffic congestion until August. 

The people who travel along KR Puram, Mahadevapura and Martahalli might experience traffic gridlocks due to the repairs. Therefore, they are advised to take the outer ring road towards Baiyappanahalli and Kasturinagar, by taking a left turn and passing through Old Madras road towards Tin Factory junction.
