Bengaluru residents should brace themselves for temporary traffic restrictions across several parts of the city on Friday (November 13) as Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting Karnataka capital to inaugurate major infrastructure projects.
“As per movement plan of PM and security arrangements for his visit by BTP Traffic diversions, temporary road closures & parking restrictions have been announced on various important stretches in South Bengaluru,” said a tweet from the official Twitter handle of BTP Traffic Police.
Motorists travelling through Bannerghatta Road, Dairy Circle, Jayadeva Hospital Junction, JP Nagar, Jayanagar, Hulimavu and surrounding areas are expected to face traffic disruption during VIP movement scheduled on this day.
Commuters have been asked to plan their journeys in advance avoid restricted stretches wherever possible and use alternative routes suggested by traffic police to avoid unnecessary delay.
The Prime Minister’s Bengaluru visit will be significant for the city’s public transportation infrastructure as Narendra Modi will inaugurate Namma Metro Pink Line (an important addition to Bengaluru’s metro network) and travel by metro from Tavarekere to IIM Bengaluru station.
Apart from metro inauguration, the Prime Minister will also inaugurate/lay foundation stones of development projects worth more than Rs 15,600 crore. As there are several programmes and VIP movements across the city traffic police have made special arrangements for regulating vehicle movement and security around programme locations.
One of the major areas where traffic will be restricted is Bannerghatta Road under Adugodi Traffic Police Station limits. Vehicles coming from Anepalya Junction towards Jayadeva Hospital through Dairy Circle will have temporary restrictions near Mico Bande Junction and Dairy Circle underpass during the programme.

Motorists coming from Anepalya to Jayadeva Hospital should take a right turn at Mico Bande Junction, follow New Mico Road till Adugodi Junction (right turn for Hosur Laskar Main Road) and continue their journey.
Another option is to travel through BG Road and Dairy Circle service road then left turn at Dairy Circle Junction towards Dr Marigowda Road, Madiwala Checkpost and Hosur Road.
Traffic restrictions will also be in force on important stretches under Jayanagar Traffic Police Station limits. Vehicles coming from 28th Main Road towards Jayadeva Hospital Junction through Marenahalli Main Road will have to take a detour during VIP movement.
Similarly traffic coming from East End Junction towards Swagath Junction and Bannerghatta Road will be regulated temporarily. Commuters travelling from Banashankari towards Silk Board should use Ragigudda Double Decker Road only except during VIP movement.
Vehicles coming from East End Junction towards Swagath Junction can use 28th Main Road and East End Road before taking the required turns towards Swagath Road and JP Nagar Dalmia Junction.
Under the jurisdiction of JP Nagar Traffic Police Station several important roads connecting Outer Ring Road and Bannerghatta Main Road will be closed. These include 15th Cross Junction & 24th Main Road towards JD Mara Junction on Bannerghatta Road; RV Dental Junction towards Bannerghatta Main Road through 9th Cross Road; BPL Arekere Main Road with Bannerghatta Main Road.
For vehicles going to Hosur Road use Kanakapura Main Road, Banashankari Bus Stand and 46th Cross Road; for vehicles going to Bannerghatta Road take Kanakapura Main Road further and turn left at Konanakunte Cross or A2B Junction; vehicles coming through BPL Arekere Main Road should use Kothanur Dinne Road as an alternative.
Several roads under Talaghattapura Traffic Police Station limits will also be temporarily closed. These include Anjanapura 80 Feet Road to Bannerghatta Road road, Gottigere Lake and Karnataka Bank road towards Bannerghatta Road and the stretch passing in front of Loyola School.
From Bannerghatta Main Road vehicles can use Anjanapura 80 Feet Road, BMTC Depot, Tulasi Pura Fire Station area, Lal Bahadur Shastri Nagar and Narayan Nagar Double Road to reach Kanakapura Road through A2B Junction.
Vehicles coming from Gottigere can use BK Circle, Jambusavari Dinne, Bhairappa Circle, Glass Factory, Harinagar Cross and Konanakunte Cross before reaching Kanakapura Road. Those coming from Loyola School Road can use BK Circle, Brigade Millennium Signal and JP Nagar Puttanahalli Lake.
Hulimavu Traffic Police Station limits will also see major changes. Vehicles from Bannerghatta Main Road towards Arekere, Bilekahalli, Mico Layout, Dairy Circle etc will be temporarily restricted. Motorists approaching from Bannerghatta rural areas can take alternative routes depending on their location.
At Kolifarm Gate Junction vehicles can turn right to CK Palya Junction and then continue through Begur-Koppa Road & Hosur Road into the city. At Sherwood Junction vehicles can turn right to NICE road and proceed through Kanakapura Road.
Vehicles approaching BDA Junction can take left turn to Anjanapura 80 Feet Road and reach Kanakapura Road. At Gottigere Junction vehicles can turn left to Jambusavari Dinne Road and reach Kanakapura Road.
Other diversions have also been suggested for motorists going through Kammanahalli, Meenakshi Mall and Sai Garments junctions. Vehicles at Kammanahalli Junction can take a right turn towards Doddakammanahalli Road, Hulimavu Lake Road, DLF Hulimavu Road and Sir M Visvesvaraya Road to reach Mico Layout, Bilekahalli or other parts of the city.
At Meenakshi Mall Junction vehicles can take a right turn via Cave Temple Road, DLF Hulimavu Road and Sir M Visvesvaraya Road. Similarly vehicles at Sai Garments Junction can use Arekere 80 Feet Road and Sir M Visvesvaraya Road to reach Mico Layout, Bilekahalli and Hosur Road.
Under the limits of Mico Layout Traffic Police Station vehicle movement on Bannerghatta Road between Dairy Circle Junction and Arekere Junction will be temporarily restricted during VIP movement. Office goers, students travelling towards hospitals and commercial areas etc must take alternative routes and allow some extra travel time.
Apart from traffic diversions Bengaluru Traffic Police have also imposed a temporary parking ban on some roads. JP Nagar 2nd Phase 8th Main Road, the stretch between Dalmia Junction on 15th Cross Road and Bannerghatta Main Road, Marenahalli Main Road in Tilak Nagar, East End Main Road in Tilak Nagar, Swagath Main Road in Tilak Nagar and 28th Main Road in Marenahalli will not be allowed for parking during this period.
Motorists should not park their vehicles along these roads during the restriction as parked vehicles may block security arrangements and traffic movement.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit will result in major movement restrictions in South Bengaluru and residents should check the traffic advisory before leaving home on November 13. People travelling to offices, schools, hospitals, railway stations etc should start early instead of usual time.
Commuters should follow instructions from traffic police personnel and not enter roads that have been temporarily closed. Inauguration of Namma Metro Pink Line and other development projects is expected to be an important milestone for Bengaluru but security arrangements accompanying it could cause temporary inconvenience to daily commuters also. Following alternative routes given will reduce delays and smooth traffic flow across the city.
