“On account of infrastructure work on the Hebbal flyover and due to the Bengaluru Metro rail work, the traffic flow at the flyover is slow during the peak hours. Due to this situation, vehicles traveling to the airport cannot reach on time; so, it is advised that vehicles going to the airport should leave at least two hours ahead of a scheduled flight,” the traffic police department said on Thursday, as quoted by the publication.
The current infrastructure improvements involve the expansion of the flyover approach from K R Puram to Hebbal and near the Hebbal police station, along with ongoing Metro rail construction from Kempapura Cross to Hebbal Junction, Kodigehalli Junction, and Byatarayanapura Junction.
