As work begins on Outer Ring Road, motorists and associations ask agencies to come out with comprehensive traffic management plan
With the commencement of Namma Metro construction work on the Outer Ring Road [Central Silk Board to K.R. Puram stretch], motorists have demanded that civic agencies come up with a comprehensive traffic management plan. Traffic snarls and gridlocks are a daily occurrence on the ORR on normal days and motorists are worried that this will only increase once Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) starts erecting pillars. BMRCL has awarded a ₹1,325-crore contract in two packages to build the metro on the 19-km stretch. Officials say over 700 metro pillars will be built on the median of the busy road.
