In a significant move to tackle Bengaluru's persistent traffic woes, the city's infrastructure authority has laid out a concrete timeline for completing a series of major projects. The Governing Body for Infrastructure (GBA) has announced that work on ten crucial flyovers and underpasses is slated for completion in the coming year.
Official Timelines Revealed in Assembly
The detailed plan was made public through a written reply submitted during the recently concluded session of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly. The GBA provided specific timelines in response to questions raised by legislators, confirming that a total of ten infrastructure projects are expected to be finalized in 2026. This formal announcement brings much-needed clarity to the city's long-term traffic decongestion plans.
A Focus on Critical Corridors
The projects, which include a mix of flyovers and underpasses, are strategically planned for some of Bengaluru's most congested corridors. While the GBA's reply did not list the individual locations, such projects typically target high-density junctions and arterial roads where traffic snarls are a daily nightmare for commuters. The completion of these ten structures is anticipated to significantly improve traffic flow and reduce travel times across key parts of the metropolis.
Impact on Bengaluru's Commute
The successful execution of this plan by 2026 could mark a turning point for the city's infrastructure. Bengaluru, India's tech capital, has long struggled with traffic congestion that impacts productivity, air quality, and the overall quality of life. The GBA's focused approach on completing these ten projects represents a targeted effort to address these systemic issues. Residents and daily commuters will be keenly watching the progress on these flyovers and underpasses, hoping for timely delivery as promised in the Assembly.
The announcement, dated 02 January 2026, sets a clear benchmark for the authorities. As the year progresses, public attention will remain fixed on the ground progress of these vital infrastructure works aimed at making Bengaluru's roads smoother and commutes faster.
