Bangalore Satellite Towns Road Works Elevated Roads Citizen Reports Transportation Infrastructure NH4 Tumkur Road

Saw two interesting bits in papers about this project. About a week ago, newspapers carried a list of land properties along NH4/Tumkur road that could be acquired for the project. And today, one newspaper has an ad insert that says - "Navayuga Engineering Co. Ltd. announces financial closure of Navayuga Bengalooru Tollway (P) Ltd., Rs 718 Crores BOT Road project on Bangalore Nelamangala section of NH4 ..."

As usual, not much more by way of updates in media or on sarkaari websites. And I haven't seen dates mentioned anywhere recently - when will work begin and when is it slated to end. But yes, they seem to be working at it. In case you are feeling lost, this is the highway we are talking about:

[gmap markers=route::13.040014039685595,77.52021789550781 + 13.093523347481069,77.4041748046875 |zoom=11 |center=13.038007215169165,77.50030517578125 |width=500px |height=320px |id=macro_map |control=Small |type=Map]

IT folks may not know, but Tumkur road is probably the most crowded road in Bangalore during commute hours, especially in the evening, worse than Hosur Road, Airport Road or Old Madras Road.

NH 48

Interestingly there are visible actions on NH 48 too ( Nelamangala - Hassan - Mangalore Highway ). The stratch from Nalamangala to Devihalli has been awarded on Boot model. Some actions such as shifting electric lines etc have begun on this stretch.

Some work seem to have begun

I have trtaveled in the Nelamangala Road today. Some preparatory works are visible at few places. Some utility cables are being shifted. Small earth works have started at few places. You can see few barricades with Navyug logo.

thanks pratap for the update.

Elevated?

I remember reading a few years(?) that the NHAI wanted to make the Bangalore Nelamangala stretch elevated as well. Am I right? Given the cost mentioned, it sounds as if some elevated sections are on the cards. Srivathsa
