Race Course Road shut for 60 days from 5 October
Motorists in Bengaluru will face traffic restrictions on Race Course Road for 60 days from 5 October, as the Greater Bengaluru Authority begins white-topping work between Maurya Junction and Hare Krishna Road Junction. Vehicles will not be allowed from Shivananda Junction towards Maurya Junction or from Trilight Junction on Race Course Road towards Maurya Junction.
BMTC and private buses, along with HGVs heading towards KR Market on Sankey Road, must travel from Windsor Manor to LRDE Junction, take a right and proceed via Basaveshwara Junction. Vehicles heading towards Majestic on Sankey Road should take Kumara Krupa Road to Shivananda Circle, turn right, then take a left onto SC Road towards Majestic.
Vehicles travelling from Old JDS Junction towards Trilight Junction can take the road on the left at Old JDS Junction, turn left at Raceview Junction and proceed via Kumara Krupa Road towards Shivananda Junction. Those travelling from Trilight Junction towards Maurya Junction can take the Shivananda Flyover, reach SC Road via Nehru Circle and continue towards Majestic. Traffic police have urged motorists to follow the diversions.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The 60-day closure of Race Course Road will disrupt a key corridor connecting central Bengaluru to KR Market and Majestic. The diversions reroute traffic via Kumara Krupa Road, Shivananda Circle and SC Road, which are already congested during peak hours. No alternative timeline or phased reopening has been announced, so commuters and BMTC operators should expect delays throughout the white-topping period.
