Routes to come into effect on Jan. 1
The Traffic Police in Vellore are gearing up to execute new traffic changes on the Bengaluru Highway (NH 48) with all vehicles including government buses from Chennai heading towards Katpadi on the highway having to proceed straight rather than taking the Green Circle route below the highway from January 1.
The move aims at decongesting the Green Circle, a roundabout below the highway, that sees on an average 80-100 vehicles per minute, in the district.
The Green Circle junction serves as a major intersection for vehicles proceeding towards Chennai, Tirupattur, Chittoor via Katpadi and to the heart of the Fort City, off the national highway.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
