- Hosur Road
Hosur Road is the part of National Highway 7 which connects the city of
Bangalore and theTamil Nadu border town ofHosur . It is a four-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 houses many industrial and IT business houses. The famous IT industrial parkElectronics City is also located in Hosur Road. Owing to the large number of offices and its use as major truck route, the road is chocked during most part of the day.The segment of road between
Madiwala and Electronic City is the busiest. To help ease the traffic, the City traffic police has 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 in this road
* Construction of a 10 kilometer long elevated highway from Madiwala and Electronics City is ongoing. Once completed, this toll road is expected to make travel to Electronics City a lot more easier.
* Construction of peripheral roads (e.g. Nandi corridor, Hosa 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.External links
