One flyover at Agara open, one at Iblur shortly

by July 10, 2010 Commute

Viswanath Seetharam, general secretary, Outer Ring Road Companies’ Association (ORRCA) shares the following information.

The agara flyover while coming from HSR BDA Complex towards Iblur is open. The second flyover at agara for vehicles moving from Iblur side towards Silkboard is yet to be completed and may take a couple of months more.

Also, the vehicles plying from Iblur towards Silkboard will be allowed to go straight from today in the road between the two flyovers at Agara junction. Earlier the vehicles had to take a compulsory left turn at 27th Main.

Vehicles that may need to go to HSR/Agara have to take a free left turn before the start of the flyover at Agara junction starting from the HSR Layout junction side. Follow lane discipline, so it is easy for residents of HSR to get onto 27th main or to Agara village.

The Iblur flyover is likely to be open in a day or two. The roads will also be asphalted below the flyovers for free flow of traffic. Traffic can flow freely in three directions. At the same time we will also need to give the same and constant support to traffic police and BDA so that the work at Bellandur, Kadubeesana Halli and Devarabeesana Halli also gets completed.

ORRCA will re-deploy guards to the new junctions as and when the situation demands after July 12th, once the flyovers are inaugurated and open to public.

Lorry traffic has been stopped during peak hours; Buses to follow lane discipline (stop/pick passengers only at bus-stops and be on left lane of the road). Follow the rules as per the boards put up by BDA (LMV on service road and HMV on mainroads).  Please follow lane discpiline to avoid penalties.

Lastly, please do not start to get your cars as it will again load the roads with traffic, people who are using public transport (BMTC/private bus services), please continue to do so.

~~

There is one aspect of the new construction that needs attention. Pedestrians trying to cross the Iblur junction under the flyovers to catch buses have quite a harrowing time navigating the various lanes of traffic to get to the opposite side. A pedestrian crossing and traffic police/wardens/volunteers to ensure they cross at the right place is required.

by January 1, 2026 Commute
Pune is set to host the 2026 Grand Tour, but a Parisar audit reveals unsafe, narrow, and encroached cycle tracks across the city.

Children and adults pedalling to school, work and play — this was a common sight on Pune's streets not so long ago. Once known for its vibrant cycling culture, the city still has many groups and communities that promote non-motorised transport. However, with the rise of motorised vehicles, cycling has not only taken a back seat, but has also become unsafe and inconvenient due to poor infrastructure. This is despite Pune having dedicated cycle tracks and lanes. The decline in cycling infrastructure is reiterated by a recent audit, which found that only 11% of cycle tracks in Pune fell in…

by December 31, 2025 Commute
Our reality check of the city's major bus stops revealed that most do not adhere to MoRTH guidelines, excluding persons with disabilities.

Bengaluru is racing to bridge the gap between first-mile and last-mile connectivity in public transport, but for people with disabilities, the journey is riddled with obstacles. Inaccessible bus stops and terminals in the city keep them excluded. “I have been travelling on muscle memory alone. There are no supportive facilities or infrastructure in bus stops or terminals,” says Mohan Kumar, a visually-impaired person who has been commuting in Bengaluru buses since 2012.  The exclusion starts at the bus stop. “Even if buses are inclusive, it is nearly impossible to reach the bus stops in Bengaluru due to poor design and…
