A day after it was inaugurated, The Hindu did a reality check on Tuesday to see if the additional loop to Hebbal Flyover from the Outer Ring Road (ORR) side has eased travel. While it has separated traffic from ORR and Airport Road that was earlier merging on the narrow two lanes on Hebbal Flyover into separate lanes, there are still some bottlenecks and some more that are likely to come up when the project is completed as all vehicles will converge at one point.
Earlier, traffic from two lanes of the ORR loop and two lanes of the Airport Road loop used to merge on two lanes over the flyover, creating a bottleneck, to resolve which the traffic police had been operating a manual signal on the flyover. Now, traffic from the four lanes go forward on four lanes, resolving this bottleneck.
