ELEVATED ROAD TO AIRPORT READY BY JUNE 2013

This project will push both commercial and residential development in the region

The construction of the elevated road over Bellary Road by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has been on for some time now.According to a senior official at NHAI,the entire stretch will be ready by June 2013.This is due to certain delays at two junctions - Kogilu and Vidyanagar.Once the flyovers are ready at these two junctions,the entire stretch will be seamless and will facilitate a smooth flow of the traffic,making travel time from Hebbal to the airport a mere 30 minutes.

The elevated stretch which starts from Kodigehalli gate will be six-lane and extends over 3.72 km.Once this is ready,the toll rates will be revised and the drive to the international airport will be hassle-free.This elevated road will have several underpasses and flyovers at many junctions.

In addition to this ambitious project,another infrastructure project that will serve the region well is the Phase II of Metro Rail.

The plans to make the Outer Ring Road (ORR) a signal-free seamless corridor will make the stretch from the Hebbal flyover to Beninganahalli a potential hotspot for commercial development too.

Residential catchments

The areas around the elevated expressway are potential residential catchments due to the area being a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) with an aerospace,IT/BT and hardware park having been proposed.The residential catchments will be the Yelahanka satellite town,Bagalur Main Road,Doddaballapur Road,Hennur Road and Hebbal areas which are well-connected to the international airport road.

Commercial development


The proposed Information Technology Investment Region (ITIR) with Special Economic Zones planned for an aerospace park,IT and BT parks will bring in a considerable amount of workforce.This gives immense scope for residential development in the region.

The connectivity from Old Madras Road to Devanahalli is another significant factor that has led to large-scale realty development in this corridor.Commercial spaces,retail outlets,hotels and residential projects are bound to draw high returns on investments due to their proximity to the international airport,and these ambitious civic infrastructure projects.

Upcoming projects

The NHAI has recently drawn up a project to link Dabaspet to Hoskote.This will lead to the direct linking of the NH4 and those travelling from Tumkur and Pune and going towards Chennai can bypass the city,thus saving on precious travel time.

This four-lane stretch will improve industrial growth in the region too.Dabaspet is a well-established industrial estate which has grown after Peenya became congested.The linking of this region to another upcoming industrial region and automobile hub - Hoskote - will give an impetus to further growth in the region.

The residential catchments of Doddaballapur,Devanahalli and Hoskote too will get a shot in the arm with this major road connectivity project.

QUICK BYTES
  • COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE CORRIDOR TO THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WILL SPUR REALTY GROWTH
  • RESIDENTIAL CATCHMENTS IN THE HIGH END CATEGORY ARE AVAILABLE IN THE
  • NORTH OF THE CITY OWING TO ITS PROXIMITY TO THE AIRPORT
  • CONNECTIVITY PROJECTS SUCH AS THE PROPOSED METRO LINK WILL GIVE A BOOST TO DEVELOPMENT
