Bengaluru airport access road to be closed for expansion.

The main access road to Bengaluru airport is being closed for expansion from June 10.

“In two years’ time, the ride to and from the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru will become seamless as the main access road to the passenger terminal will be widened from four lanes to ten (five on each side),” a release said.

Traffic diversion

The 1.4-km access road will be closed for expansion as part of the ongoing infrastructure development. During the expansion period, traffic will be diverted through the new six-lane (three each) south access road, built parallel to the main road.

Vehicles coming to the airport will turn right at the first roundabout after the Trumpet Interchange, and enter the south road to reach the terminal. Vehicles heading out of the airport from the departure gates, will follow the existing exit path from the terminal and head towards P6 parking to reach the south road. Vehicles returning from arrival gates, will continue using the existing route towards south road.

The main access road is expected to be reopened in early 2021.
