BANGALORE: The BBMP Budget has proposed many road infrastructure projects befitting a new age IT city.

The elevated inner core ring road along with elevated expressway from Shooley Circle to Silk Board and another elevated expressway from Yeshwantpur to expressway on Tumkur Road would ease the congestion to a great extent.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has taken up an elevated expressway from Silk Board to Electronics City and BBMP's expressway would join it to Shooley Circle, just at the start of Brigade road. The techies would be able to zip to the office from central parts of the city.

Another bottleneck is being tackled by NHAI on Tumkur Road where they are building an expressway and this would be connected by BBMP elevated expressway from Yeshwantpur.

The dream of a congestion-free travel in city would be completed with widening of 85 major roads and construction of underpasses at all road junctions.
