K’taka to construct roads linking airport to IT corridors

The Karnataka government plans to conduct a feasibility study for building tunnel roads in two congested areas of the city centre to connect the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) with the IT corridors.

However, no decision has been made regarding the government agency responsible for the project.

Going by deliberations at Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar's meeting, the government is considering constructing tunnel roads between Hebbal and KR Puram via Mehkri Circle, Bengaluru Cantonment railway station, and Old Madras Road. A second stretch would connect Silk Board from Cantonment through Double Road, Lalbagh, and Hosur Road.

These two lines stretching about 50 km had been picked for the feasibility for the first phase. The decision follows a presentation from AECOM, a US-based infrastructure consulting firm that previously proposed a 99-km elevated corridor, which was later abandoned.
