Bengaluru municipal authorities have approved a Comprehensive Mobility Plan worth approximately ₹1 lakh crore to tackle the city’s long‑standing traffic congestion problem.
The plan outlines the construction of a dedicated tunnel road and twelve major flyovers at key intersections, intended to streamline traffic flow and cut travel times for commuters.
Funding is expected to come from both state and central government sources, with the project to be executed in phases over several years as part of a broader effort to modernise the city’s transport infrastructure.
Officials also said the scheme will incorporate intelligent traffic‑management systems and promote greater use of public transport, although detailed timelines were not disclosed.
