FollowTraffic congestion is nothing new for Bengaluru residents, but the recent closure of the HSR Layout flyover for metro work has made things worse. Commuters are facing severe delays, especially along the Outer Ring Road (ORR) and Silk Board, as thousands of vehicles are forced to take alternate routes.
The Bengaluru Traffic Police issued a notification on X (formerly Twitter), informing the public about the closure and urging cooperation. However, many residents are frustrated, saying they were not given prior notice. Several commuters, unaware of the change, arrived at the flyover only to find it closed, leading to confusion and long traffic jams.
