Concerns over alternative routes and traffic congestion due to 1.6 km elevated corridor construction on KIA Airport Road

An elevated corridor spanning 1.6 km, from UAS Staff Quarters to Mekhri Circle, is being prepared on the Kempegowda International Airport Road. This construction is scheduled to take 18 months, potentially causing further pressure on Bengaluru's traffic system due to proposed vehicle restrictions. Concerns have been raised that alternative routes, which already host metro construction, road repairs, and underground cable laying, may become new centers of congestion.
