Bengaluru’s ambitious 114-kilometer elevated road project, proposed by the Karnataka Road Development Corporation Limited (KRDCL), is set to dramatically reshape urban mobility. At the heart of this mega plan lies the North–South Corridor, the most significant stretch, aimed at decongesting the city’s busiest routes.

The Route

The North–South Corridor (NS) will connect the Airport Flyover near Esteem Mall in the north to the Silk Board Junction in the south—two of Bengaluru’s most traffic-choked ends. Running through central arteries such as Jayamahal Main Road, Queen’s Road, Kasturba Road, KH Road, Hosur Road, and Audugodi Main Road, this elevated link is designed to slash commute times by nearly 40–50% during peak hours.

Commuter Impact

For lakhs of daily commuters traveling between North Bengaluru’s tech hubs, central business districts, and the IT corridors in Electronic City and Hosur Road, the corridor is expected to be a game-changer. It will also integrate seamlessly with metro lines and suburban rail, providing a much-needed multi-modal connectivity boost.

Design & Infrastructure

The project envisions modern infrastructure with noise barriers, rainwater drainage systems, and eco-sensitive design elements to reduce environmental disruption.

Economic Impact

Real estate experts suggest that areas flanking this corridor—from Hebbal to Silk Board—are likely to witness a sharp rise in property demand and pricing, as faster connectivity enhances both residential and commercial prospects.
