BANGALORE: The State government on Tuesday issued notification for developing the Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR) connecting the satellite towns of Doddaballapur, Devanahalli, Hosakote, Anekal, Kanakapura, Ramanagaram and Magadi to each other and to the upcoming international airport near Devanahalli.
The project would be developed in four packages and the State government had already allocated Rs 400 crore for the purpose this year, Commissioner of Bangalore Metropolitan Regional Development Authority Sudhir Krishna told media persons here on Tuesday.
The government has also approved the structural plan of BMRDA to ease the traffic congestion in Bangalore metropolitan region with the development of three concentric ring roads. They are as given below.
PERIPHERAL RING ROAD: The earlier plan had mooted a PRR on the periphery of the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) jurisdiction area in two parts, the southern PRR and northern PRR. The BDA is now developing these two segments, while Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise is developing a PRR parallel to southern part of the PRR of BDA.
BMR-STRR: This arterial road links the eight satellite towns of Doddaballapur, Devanahalli, Hosakote, Anekal, Kanakapura, Ramanagaram, Magadi and Dobbuspet to each other and the upcoming international airport near Devanahalli.
BMR-IRR: The Bangalore Metropolitan Region- Intermediate Ring Road would connect Bidadi, Nelamangala, Aradeshanahalli, Devanahalli, Hosakote, Anekal, Thattekere, Harohalli and Tavarekere with the upcoming international airport near Devanahalli. The projects would be on Develop-Build-Own- Operate-Transfer basis. About 2600 acres would be acquired for STRR, Sudhir Krishna added.
ALIGNMENT ROW: Replying to queries on the controversy over the allegations of change in alignment of expressway to provide connectivity to Devanahalli airport, he said the allegations are baseless. It is not possible to change the engineering alignment of the project, he added.
He attributed the entire controversy to the age-old revenue survey maps, which he said, were not accurate. The 50-year-old survey maps can cause a shift of upto 100 metres for every 1 mm of error on the map. This is the cause of the problem while marking the alignment.

By when this STRR project will start plz mail to this add prasad_choudry @yahoo.com.....
Despite the proposal to develop STRR to ease the congestion on roads connecting Bangalore, there are no visible signs of its progression.
Though some efforts are made by providing short cross-over bridges across the National Highways, STRR eases in shunting Inter-state Transport Vehicles by bypassing Bangalore City.
therefore, earlier the better if BMRDA/ BBMP speedy implimentation of STRR.
In addition to STRR arround Bangalore, recent road survey at Attibele and Anekal road, there is a rumor to give an indication that Anekal-Siddlaghatta Road connection is comming-up. However, this is not an athenticated news, and needs confirmation. If any one can spill a light on this, is welcome.
