Bengaluru, NT Bureau: On Wednesday morning, Balaji Layout Market Road will be thrown open for traffic, allowing BMTC buses to use this route to reach Kanakapura Road instead of Pipeline Road. This change is expected to reduce traf fic on Balaji Layout Park Road.

Additionally, the stretch from 100 Ft Road to Holiday Village Road Junction on Kanakapura Road is likely to open by June 10.

The work, now in its final phase, has reached the Holiday Village Junction on Kanakapura Road, where pipes are being joined. This process is expected to take 8-10 days, necessitating the closure of the entry from Balaji Layout Market Road to Kanakapura Road. In other news, the HAL Airport Traffic Police Station has issued a traffic advisory stating that the Marathalli divider will be temporarily closed in the mornings from June 4 to alleviate slow-moving traffic towards the city, reopening at noon.
