Bengaluru: With the alternative road to Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) in Devanahalli finally expected to be ready by February-end, air passengers are worried about the traffic chaos they could experience on entering the premises.
The alternative road is set to intersect the stretch now being used for airport entry and exit. This has raised concerns of possible traffic pile-ups at the junction. However, both the government and Bengaluru International Airport Limited (BIAL) have told flyers not to worry as they will redesign the said junction to prevent traffic congestion.
SB Siddagangappa, secretary, Public Works Department (PWD), which is executing the alternative road project, said, "Since the area comes under BIAL, the airport management's say is of crucial importance. However, air passengers needn't worry. We already have a plan to manage traffic by redesigning the junction and installing signals. We are in talks with experts, traffic cops and the KIA management."
A senior BIAL executive said they are not anticipating much trouble as traffic coming from Ballari Road will reduce once the alternative road is in place. "We are in consultation with experts on traffic management," he added.
