Bengaluru: Kamaraj Road, linking MG Road to Cubbon Park, to reopen for traffic after five years of closure

After half a decade of closure, Kamaraj Road, the crucial thoroughfare connecting MG Road to Cubbon Park, is finally accessible to vehicles once again. The prolonged closure stemmed from ongoing metro construction work along the Nagwara-Kalena Agrahara line, particularly the development of the underground station at MG Road.

Since 2019, the bustling road has been inaccessible due to the extensive metro project, causing significant disruptions to vehicular movement in the area. However, with the completion of the construction work, the road is now set to reopen, providing much-needed relief to commuters and residents alike.
