The movement of KSRTC and private buses, along with all goods vehicles, has been prohibited on the stretch, the Bengaluru Traffic Police announced on Thursday.
The elevated corridor is being built between UAS Staff Quarters and Mekhri Circle, under the jurisdiction of Sadashivanagar and Sanjaynagar traffic police stations.
The restrictions have been imposed to ease congestion and ensure smoother traffic movement during the construction work.
