# Bengaluru police, BDA ready alternate roads before Ballari Road curbs 2026-11-06T18:56:11+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Bengaluru City Police and the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) are upgrading alternate roads to Ballari Road ahead of proposed traffic restrictions for elevated corridor work. The BDA was to begin work between UAS Staff Quarters and Mehkri Circle from Friday, 6 November 2026, but no restrictions were implemented on the ground, an on-ground check by The Hindu found. Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh said talks are on to make alternate routes more motorable and capable of handling higher volumes. Two-wheelers and cars will be advised to avoid the stretch between Mehkri Circle and Hebbal flyover, while heavy vehicles and buses will be banned. Sources said partial traffic movement could be allowed for a few months until work gains pace. A complete halt will come when the Ganganagar and Sanjaynagar flyovers are demolished. The project is expected to take 18 months. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The delay in imposing restrictions gives commuters a brief reprieve, but the disruption to airport traffic will be severe once it begins. The police and BDA have not set a new start date, leaving the timeline uncertain. The key unresolved question is how much capacity the alternate routes can absorb before work forces a full closure of the stretch. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Straight factual reporting of delay and police preparations This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
