New underpass and elevated road project to ease Hebbal traffic, protecting local lake and trees

The Bengaluru Development Authority (BDA) is constructing an underpass road and elevated road (melsetuve) from Mekhri Circle to Hebbal to alleviate traffic congestion. The project aims to ensure that the Hebbal lake, water inflow, and trees are not harmed. BDA plans to complete the project by May 2028, while protecting the lake and trees. The underpass route, spanning 2.28 km, passes beneath the tank bund area of Hebbal lake, and the project will not permanently acquire any lake land.
