Iblur flyover open, traffic update

Many of you would have noticed the Iblur flyover opened yesterday. The Forward150 federation, Outer Ring Road Companies Association (ORRCA) is working with the traffic police to improve the traffic at the junction.

The road leading to Bellandur from Iblur is being cleared and the diversions removed in a weeks time. Vehicles plying from Bellandur towards Iblur need to go on top of the flyover and land at Iblur village cross, vehicles plying from Bellandur towards Sarjapur need to take the left lane/service road before the flyover and turn left.

Haphazard parking is a big problem, especially on the roads near Bellandur junction, Spencers and Total Mall. People are ignoring the no-parking boards. We have requested the traffic police to penalize the violators.

Vehicles, mainly public transport buses from Sarjapur Road to Marathahalli and Iblur to Sarjapur Road  will cross under the flyover. Lane discipline is the only way to keep this smooth.

We have requested traffic police to paint the speed breakers at all junctions from Marathahalli till HSR BDA Complex. Praveen Sood, ACP (Traffic) has said it will be done very soon. The asphalting of roads below flyovers also will be completed very soon.

We are redeploying the ORRCA traffic warden team from coming Monday, they are on duty 7 am to 12.30 pm and 4.30 pm to 9.00 pm at:
a. HSR BDA complex junction 
b. Agara (only traffic police)
c. Iblur Village
d. Iblur Junction
e. Haralur junction
f. Kaikondrahalli, Sarjapur road
g. Bellandur
h. Deviation opp Ecospace
i. Intel – DB Halli
j. New Horizon college
k. KB Halli
l. Multiplex

Please reduce usage of cars and adopt public transportation.

Nearby grade separator works that are still in progress include:
a. Madivala underpass: By early August, the underpass in front of Aiyappa temple will be open
b. Agara flyover stage 2 : By mid September, this will be open
c. Bellandur, Kadubeesanahalli (KB Halli) and Devarabeesanahalli (DB Halli) – these are due completion in about 15 months.

    Its sick that its a one way flyover. I was always under the assumption that it was a a two way fly over. There is real Chaos when vehicles are coming from the Sarjapur road side moving towards Belladur.

Riding the Chennai Metro is a breeze, but last-mile connectivity remains a worry

Chennai needs a unified transit system to ensure seamless travel for metro commuters on either side of the journey.

Stepping off the Thirumangalam metro at 6.45 pm, the train ride seemed effortless. It was cool, fast, and on time, taking just fifteen minutes from the office. Now comes the hard part. Standing at the station exit, finding a ride home is a struggle, as I switch between three apps to book an auto. The metro feeder bus only runs every 40 minutes and has just left. By the time I reach home, the "fast" metro trip has cost an extra half-hour and ₹120 in surge-priced rides, a last-mile problem the metro itself was built to solve. This is the…

A four-hour commute: The daily transport struggles of women from Chennai’s resettlement areas

Watch this video to understand how absence of last-mile connectivity and unreliable public transport in Chennai is failing those who need it the most.

Chennai has long had a tradition of public transport usage, with commuters having the choice of the suburban railway network, Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) buses operating in the city and the Metro Rail for their daily transit.

Last mile connectivity issues, poor coverage in certain areas and the inability of the government to encourage residents to use public transport are major impediments. In fact, private vehicles make up 65 per cent of all motorised transport in the Chennai…
