If you are like me, who use NICE highway in Bangalore for most of the travel, this will be important to you.
As of yesterday, they have closed a section of NICE Road – Link Road between NICE and Nayandahalli. They are laying concrete roads for the entire stretch and because of this they have closed one part of the highway.
However, if you are travelling from Nayandahalli towards Mysore or Electronics City, this will not affect you, but will do so if you are coming through the other side.
This has caused major problems for me, as all these days, it was taking just 30 mins for me to travel 35kms – from home and work. Now, with the return journey, I need to take a detour to Mysore road, and then come back through Bangalore University. The problem with this route is, there are a couple of big U-turns. During evening time, shuttle buses from software companies exit in Mysore road and take U turns here, thereby stopping the traffic for close to 15 minutes.
Hoping that this is all for the better. My only concern right now is, once the highway is opened fully again, whether they will increase the toll charges again.
Can just keep my fingers crossed… for the next three months…
