Bangalore Traffic Advisory: Namma Metro Work Triggers Heavy Traffic in Marathalli, Bellandur & Other Key Route

The ongoing construction of the Namma Metro line in Bangalore has become a major cause of traffic congestion for daily commuters. Almost every other day, some road or another is partially or fully closed due to metro construction work. If you're a regular commuter in Bengaluru, be prepared for more traffic delays. The Namma Metro construction across the city has caused multiple road closures in key areas like Hebbal, Marathahalli, Bellandur, and more. Due to this ongoing work, Bangalore traffic has become a major concern, and commuters are advised to check the latest traffic advisories before heading out.

The Bangalore traffic police have been issuing frequent traffic updates to help residents avoid congested routes. If you're planning to drive through Outer Ring Road (ORR), Sakra Hospital Road, Panathur, or Doddanekundi, you might face slow traffic or blocked roads due to metro, BBMP, and BWSSB work.

Due to ongoing metro work, traffic from Mahadevpura towards Marathahalli and vice versa is moving slowly. Drivers are advised to plan their journey and expect delays.

Marathahalli Police Station Area

Heavy traffic has been reported from Kadubeesanahalli towards Karthik Nagar due to metro construction near the Marathahalli police station. Commuters are requested to cooperate with authorities.

Bellandur - Sakra Hospital Road

BWSSB and BBMP construction near Sakra Hospital has led to restricted movement from Bellandur Kodi towards Sakra Hospital. Expect significant traffic jams in this area.

Ongoing civil work at Doddanekundi village has slowed down traffic considerably. Drivers should avoid this route and take alternative roads.
