Overview
- The 5.12 km link runs between HSR Layout 5th Main and Jayanagar’s Ragigudda and stacks road traffic below the Namma Metro Yellow Line.
- Commuters report the roughly 3.5 km stretch now takes under 10 minutes, down from more than 40 minutes with five signals skipped.
- Traffic pressure is shifting toward the Marenahalli junction, and police have added staff in Jayanagar and Banashankari to ease backups.
- City officials say a funded feasibility study will test an underpass or other fixes to handle the new choke point at Marenahalli.
- The trial opening follows earlier delays tied to installing a 42-metre steel girder and partial ramp openings that began in July 2024.
