ORR service road shut for 45 days! Check for alternate routes here

While the Outer Ring Road faces a 45-day closure for metro work, Bengaluru commuters can enjoy smoother rides in the city centre thanks to synchronized traffic signals from JC Road to NR Junction.

Bengaluru commuters are set for a mixed traffic experience this month, with closures on one end and smoother rides on another. The Bengaluru Traffic Police has announced a 45-day closure of the Outer Ring Road (ORR) service road between the 9th Main Road Junction and 5th Main Road Junction, starting October 6, due to ongoing BMRCL metro station construction.

Vehicles heading from Ibblur towards Silk Board Junction are advised to take alternate routes. Motorists can travel via the 14th Main Road flyover and continue on the main carriageway to reach the 5th Main Road Junction, or use HSR Layout’s internal roads to access Silk Board and Hosur Main Road.

The traffic authorities have urged the public to cooperate and follow the diversions to avoid bottlenecks and ensure smoother movement.

While ORR commuters face temporary hurdles, there’s a silver lining for motorists in the city’s heart. Anoop A. Shetty, IPS, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic -West Division), announced the successful synchronization of traffic signals along the busy stretch from JC Road near Townhall Junction to NR Junction, PS Junction, and Police Corner Junction.
