BENGALURU: The pending portion of Kamaraj Road, from Cubbon Road towards MG Road, is set to open only by July-end. The MG Road Metro station will have an integration of the Pink Line with the Purple Line, bringing citizens from remote corners of the city to the Central Business District. Anitha B Haddannavar, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Traffic West, told TNIE, “The opening of traffic from MG Road towards Cubbon Road has caused a significant reduction in traffic on MG Road and near Anil Kumble Circle, which used to be congested. It helped manage traffic during the recent New Year eve rush too.” Opening it both ways will further help relieve traffic congestion, she said and added that it might take six more months.
