The 58 km Blue Line Metro, connecting Central Silk Board to Kempegowda International Airport, is now expected to be fully operational by March 2028. Additionally, construction between Anandnagar and Mekhri Circle in Hebbal will impose heavy traffic restrictions on Ballari Road for the next 18 months. The Metro Rail Ltd. has extended the deadline for the project by three months due to engineering hurdles and challenges.
