Bengaluru Airport Road Faces 18 Months of Traffic Restrictions from November 6, 2026

The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) will begin construction of a four-lane elevated corridor on Bengaluru’s Ballari Road from November 6, 2026.  

The ₹420 crore project has an execution timeline of 18 months, during which traffic restrictions will remain in place on the affected stretch, impacting commuters travelling between the city and Kempegowda International Airport. 

Traffic Restrictions on Ballari Road 

The construction will cover a 1.6-km stretch between University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS) Staff Quarters and Mehkri Circle. Ballari Road is a major arterial road connecting the city centre with the airport. 

According to an advisory issued by Bengaluru Traffic Police (BTP) on X, goods vehicles will not be allowed on the affected stretch during construction.  

The restriction covers Light Goods Vehicles (LGVs), Medium Goods Vehicles (MGVs) and Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs). KSRTC and private buses are also prohibited from using this road. 

Other vehicles, including emergency vehicles travelling through Hebbal towards the airport and Bengaluru city, have been directed to use alternative routes. 

Alternative Routes Towards Kempegowda International Airport 

Vehicles travelling from central Bengaluru can take Old High Grounds junction, Kalpana junction, Old Udaya TV junction, Cantonment railway station, Tannery Road and Nagawara Road to reach the airport. 

Commuters from Yeshwanthpur can take Mattikere Road, turn right at BEL Circle and continue along Ring Road towards the airport. 

Routes Towards Bengaluru City 

Vehicles travelling from Hebbal towards the city can turn left towards Nagawara junction and proceed through Bamboo Bazaar and Queens Road. 

An alternative route runs through Hebbal Ring Road, Kuvempu Circle and Goraguntepalya junction, followed by Dr Rajkumar Road. Vehicles from Yeshwanthpur can take BHEL junction, Maramma Circle and Margosa Road. 

For local access, motorists can use the service road in front of Baptist Hospital, proceed towards CBI junction and rejoin Ballari Main Road.  

Those travelling towards Anand Nagar, RT Nagar and Jayamahal Road can take Anand Nagar Main Road from CBI junction.

Hyderabad-based Auro Infra Pvt Ltd has been awarded the ₹420 crore contract. The elevated corridor will connect UAS Staff Quarters to a raised rotary flyover at Mehkri Circle.
