Bengaluru Traffic Snag: Jnanabharathi Road Closure to Slow Traffic Near Mysuru Road-Bangalore University Route

Commuters travelling towards Bangalore University from Mysuru Road are likely to face traffic diversions and delays today (Thursday) as city police enforce temporary restrictions on a key stretch.

According to the Bengaluru Traffic Police, vehicular movement on Jnanabharathi Main Road was restricted starting 6 pm on Wednesday and will remain closed until 12 noon on Friday.

Railway Bridge Work Behind Traffic Restriction

The temporary restriction has been imposed to facilitate the replacement of steel girders on the railway bridge located along the Jnanabharathi Main Road stretch. Officials said the closure is necessary to ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians while the infrastructure upgrade work is carried out.

Authorities have requested commuters to cooperate with traffic personnel and follow the diversion routes put in place during the restriction period.

Diversion Routes for Commuters

Motorists travelling towards Bangalore University or Ullal from Mysuru Road must take a diversion route. Commuters should turn right at Jairamdas Junction, proceed via Muthurayanagar and Government Press Road, and then take a right turn near the BPEd Ground to reach their destination.

Meanwhile, vehicle users travelling towards Mysuru Road from Ullal or Mariyappanapalya will be diverted at the BU Head Office Circle. From there, commuters should proceed via Nagarabhavi Main Road and continue towards the Outer Ring Road to reconnect with Mysuru Road.

Traffic Delays Expected

The Bengaluru Traffic Police has warned that congestion may increase along diversion routes, particularly during peak hours.

Commuters travelling towards the Bangalore University area have been advised to plan their journey in advance and allow extra travel time until normal traffic movement resumes Friday afternoon.
