With the alternative road, about 50% of the traffic on Bellary Road will be reduced; the distance, too, will be reduced by 10km
If you are a frequent traveller from White Field, Electronic City, and surrounding areas to the BIAL, you are in for a treat that could save you time and fuel. The state government has directed the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to provide Transferable Development Rights (TDR) for property owners coming under Hennur Outer Ring Road junction to Mylahalli acquired for roadwidening,which connects the IT hub to the BIAL.
In order to connect the Bangalore East and ITPL Whitefield, Electronics City, KR Puram, Mahadevapura,
Indiranagar, Hosakote and other areas to Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), the BBMP has taken up road-widening work for constructing a six-lane road for `46 crore.
The BBMP has decided to acquire 56 acres of private land through TDR. With the alternative road, about 50% of the traffic on Bellary Road will be reduced. It will also save time for commuters as the distance will come down by 10km to the BIAL when compared to taking the Bellary Road.
Earlier, the BBMP had taken up road-widening work,but it was brought to a halt as some portion of the work comes outside their jurisdiction. There was also a protest from the villagers over providing their land for the TDR.
The debate in council
The issue was raised in the BBMP council meeting over taking up road-widening work outside the BBMP limits. With nearly half of the road-widening work completed,the matter was taken to the state government to decide on who should to provide the TDR.
Meanwhile, the BBMP and the BIAL authorities conducted a meeting to discuss the issue. During the meeting, the BIAL authorities had raised the issue of safety concern for the airport over the road construction.
Considering the importance of road-widening, the state government on December 12, 2011, directed the
BBMP to provide TDR for property owners in the panchayat limits.
The government has also laid three conditions: The BBMP must take approvals before taking up the road
widening works; it must take permission from the government before providing TDR to the acquired properties outside BBMP limits; it has to develop only seven roads, which are identified in the RMP 2015.
Yelahanka zone engineer Surendra Babu said that with the completion of the road, there will be an alternate road and the traffic volume will be considerably reduced on Bellary Road.
