Bengaluru: After years of waiting, citizens can take an alternative route to Kempegowda International Airport from Sunday. The alternative road was readied on a war footing to ensure it was opened before Aero India 2017 kicked off on February 14, 2017.
The alternative route is meant mainly for vehicles coming from east Bengaluru, and will enter the airport from the village of Begur. The assessment of the traffic police shows that at least 35% traffic towards the city comes from east or southeast Bengaluru. "We wanted to open an alternative route to the airport before Aero India, so that the burden on Ballari Road is reduced. We want to continue this after Aero India is over too," said R Hitendra, additional commissioner of police, traffic.
From Sunday, vehicles from East Bengaluru will come through KR Puram, Hennur Cross, Bagalur, Mylanahalli, Begur and the southwest entrance of the airport. "We will deploy officers and men along the new route to guide commuters till they are familiar with it," the officer added.
