Bengaluru News: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has announced plans for a new 1.5-km tunnel in Bengaluru that will connect Nagavara to the University of Agricultural Sciences. The tunnel will also pass via Esteem Mall, offering improved connectivity in the northern part of the city.
Speaking during his visit to the under-construction Hebbal flyover loop on Tuesday, Shivakumar clarified that this new tunnel is separate from the larger tunnel road project currently under discussion. He said the proposal is aimed at easing traffic congestion in the area.
Officials now hope that the opening of this loop will bring some relief to daily commuters.
