Bengaluru, August 18, 2025 — In a major push to decongest Bengaluru’s traffic, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar inaugurated the newly constructed Hebbal flyover today.
The 700-meter-long elevated corridor, built at a cost of ₹80 crore, connects KR Puram to Mekhri Circle via Hebbal Junction—one of the city’s most notorious traffic bottlenecks.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by several dignitaries, including Ministers Krishna Byre Gowda and Byrathi Suresh, and BDA Chairman M. L. Anantha Reddy.
The event marked a significant milestone in the state government’s ongoing efforts to modernize Bengaluru’s transport infrastructure.
Strategic Impact on Traffic Flow
The Hebbal flyover is expected to streamline vehicular movement across North Bengaluru, especially for commuters traveling from the eastern tech hubs toward the city’s arterial roads.
With thousands of vehicles passing through Hebbal Junction daily, the new flyover is projected to reduce travel time and ease congestion during peak hours.
