Yes. It is a reasonably large underpass. It is prone to getting waterlogged during rains. But it was alright 3 days ago.

Isnt there a better way to reach baptist hospital other than the one I took? It was pathetic, to say the least.
I had to go to Baptist Hospital last evening, from Jakkur. This is what I do these days if I have to cross Hebbal flyover towards the city - I go towards Yelahanka from with the Shobha Emerald internal roads and join the Airport flyover towards Hebbal near the Vidyashilp joint from Jakkur Plantations side, the bottle neck at Hebbal FO is much lesser for folks taking the Airport flyover.

Pathetic traffic below the flyover, it is well worth the additional 2-3 kms detour that I had to take to get on the flyover.

As per BTP the road connectors at New Horizon and KLM Mall will be closed to reduce congestion. Should stay on the service road if you have to go towards Marathahalli bridge.

Sounds like a fairly bad idea. These are the wider entry points to service roads. With these closed it will force motorists to use the narrower entry points leading to the traffic on the main carriageway getting choked further.

Also, they have also not mentioned which entry to use to get into the service road for both these locations. Forcing motorists to go long distances on the service road will be counter productive considering the varying width, illegal parking, poor surface of the service roads.

With all civic agencies in a sleep more, understand that BTP is desperately trying various experiments to keep traffic moving and can appreciate that, but this definitely seems like a move that will backfire.
