Travel time on Hebbal Ring Rd cut

2 New Flyovers Do Away With Waiting At The Signals 

Theres some relief from the tedious drive and heavy traffic on Hebbal ring road from Hebbal flyover to K R Puram via Kalyan Nagar with two new grade separators open to commuters.They can avoid major signals and waiting time when heading towards K R Puram or from K R Puram towards the Hebbal flyover.

On Saturday afternoon,chief minister DV Sadananda Gowda inaugurated the grade separators on Hebbal Ring Road.One was opened opposite Lumbini Garden and the other at Kalyan Nagar junction.The key benefit of the two separators is reducing time of travel what would take commuters at least 25 minutes will now take 15 minutes as waiting at the two junctions is avoided.

Now,just after Lumbini Garden,people don't need to wait at the signal junction,which has Jakkur and Amruthahalli to the left,R T Nagar to the right and K R Puram straight ahead nor even at Kalyan Nagar junction,which has Banaswadi to the right,Ramamurthynagar to the left and K R Puram straight ahead.The projects benefit people moving from Hebbal flyover towards K R Puram and vice-versa and all residents around Lumbini Garden,Kalyan Nagar,Banaswadi,Ramamurthynagar and Kasturinagar.Travel has eased both on top of the flyovers as well as under them as traffic that moves on top will no longer add to the traffic below at signals near Lumbini Garden and Kalyan Nagar.

The flyover at Lumbini Garden is 670m long and cost Rs 32.28 crore,while the flyover at Kalyan Nagar is 550 m long and cost Rs 38.65 crore.The two now form a major part of infrastructure development and upgrade in the Hebbal-K R Puram corridor of North Bangalore.Residents living below the flyovers will heave a sigh of relief as they no longer need to experience clogging of traffic here.Just wading through scores of trucks,cars and autos every day would be gut wrenching,what with the heat,sweat,dust and pollution.
COMMUTERS DELIGHT: Grade separators on Hebbal Ring Road will provide a smooth ride
