Highway system

Bangalore-Hosur Road is the part of National Highway 7 which connects the city of Bangalore capital of Karnataka, and the Tamil Nadu border town of Hosur in Krishnagiri district. It is a four to eight-lane highway which also has service lanes on either sides at the busier parts. Apart from being a part of the National Highway, the road is also significant because it consist of many industrial and IT business houses. The famous IT industrial park Electronics City is also located alongside Hosur Road.

RCC Magic Box, used to build an underpass at Madiwala at the junction of Hosur Road(NH 7) and Inner Ring Road.

The segment of road between Madiwala and Electronics City is the busiest. To help ease the traffic, the city traffic police have blocked the movement of trucks in this stretch in the morning and evening rush hours. The city administration is thinking of various steps to handle the ever increasing traffic on this road.

  • Construction of peripheral roads (e.g. Nandi corridor, Hosur road) is ongoing. These roads will offer an alternate route for people who stay in the south-east and south-west sections of the city to reach Electronics City without having to go through the busy stretch.
  • Plans are also there for construction of a peripheral ring road which would divert traffic from the border town of Attibele in Anekal taluk, Bangalore rural district.

The National Highways Authority of India has constructed a 10-kilometer-long elevated highway from Madiwala and Electronics City. This toll road has made travel to Electronics City a lot easier. The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike and Bangalore Development Authority have planned a series of flyovers and underpasses to make this arterial road signal free.[1]
