From 6 November, motorists heading to Kempegowda International Airport will follow newly announced road diversions that will remain in place for the next 18 months.
The Karnataka traffic authorities have issued a schedule of road diversions that will guide vehicles bound for Kempegowda International Airport starting 6 November. The plan is slated to stay in effect for a period of 18 months, covering the peak travel season and beyond.
The diversions will be implemented on several key access routes to the airport, with new signage being installed along the affected corridors. Drivers are advised to follow the posted directions and allow extra travel time, especially during morning and evening rush hours.
Officials have urged commuters to stay updated through local traffic bulletins and navigation apps, emphasizing that the changes aim to streamline airport access and reduce congestion on the main thoroughfares.
The long‑term nature of the scheme reflects a broader effort to manage growing passenger traffic at Bengaluru's gateway airport while minimizing disruption to daily commuters.
