Any major project [except Hoysala] coming up BEYOND BIAL?
Which might benefit from this tollway?

"No doubt the toll is a source of revenue for the central government. But when it is imposed without any discussion with stakeholders, it's abominable," FKCCI president NS Srinivasa Murthy said.

And the stakeholders are?
NHAI, Navayuga, and nobody else.
FKCCI doesn't understand the way things work. Maybe they should have a talk with me.

BTW: That has got to be the WORST looking Toll Booth I have seen ...

Some of the above projects are On hold including business park mainly due to BIA is not allowing any building in excess of 32 meters height in a 12 km radius.

Thanks for your quick and informative list of layouts.

b/w toll is unjustified for the current road , if you have mistaken for the expressway which is not in place yet.
Once its completed i guess they can collect toll but the current one is just for using NHAI with signals

Well, they collect toll to cover the cost of the road.

20km plain road? is unjustified and tolls are for roads outside the city limits for NHAI not within the city

The express way is around 19 KMS. Out of which 5 KMS would be a single flyover which crosses 3 major traffic junctions. The flyover would be 4 lane. And the below road would be 10 lane in city limits. So its 14 lane from Hebbal to Yelahanka.

After which it will be 10 lane by road, with flyovers at major junctions. Already work has started on 3 flyovers.

As per my knowledge the road is still under National Highway Authority. So NHAI has all rights to levy the toll. After all they are giving a good road. The cost of the investment is in crores.

If you travel to the airport, you can see the road quality difference between Mekri Cricle to Hebbal and Hebbal to Airport. The first one is looked after by BBMP and the second is looked after by NHAI.

The first one was made by a local contractor and the road is bumpy and uneven. The second was developed by L&T under GQ. The road is truly of international standards.

Bussiness Park is being sold @ 5000 crs Tenders are being evaluted with Soma Constructions being the front runners ,there is no issue as BIAL itself is developing blueprint for Airport City

i agree with you but toll should be after finishing the expressway

That's very true, currently less than 15% of the work is completed. So on what basis they are starting the toll is not known. Looks like there is a fund crunch hence they are starting the toll to get some funds.

From past 3 days the road is completely getting blocked in the Batyaranyapura - Yelahanka road due to service road work. Today it took 20 mins to cross 2 KM.

Anyone going to airport budget for atleast 30 mins of extra time in peak hours.

1> I agree with you. Look at Tumkur Road, Hosur Road and Old Madras Road.

2> Exactly, one gets washed away in three months, gets relaid after a year. The other gets washed away in three years, yet is topped every year to ensure a good ride.

3> You mean NSEW. GQ is Tumkur Road and Hosur Road.

I find that derogatory to step mothers.

Agara, Iblur, Hsr lyt flyover funded by centre.

BANGALORE: If the NHAI has its way, then motorists better be prepared for a taxing time on the Bangalore International Airport Road. Transporters have told the government that if the proposal to collect toll on BIA Road is not withdrawn immediately then they will resort to a protest.

The NHAI had proposed to collect the fee from Monday. The toll ranges from Rs 20 for cars, jeeps to Rs 65 on buses and lorries.

"The Centre has sanctioned the project of a six-lane expressway costing Rs 680 crore, but work is yet to start. While we welcome this dream project and have no objections to toll being raised on its completion, all rules pertaining to toll plazas should be followed," said G R Shanmugappa, president, All-India Motor Transport Congress.

He said a delegation will meet chief minister B S Yeddyurappa on Monday to put across its demand of withdrawing the proposal.

"Nearly 40,000 vehicles ply on this stretch. They have set up the toll booth, just 100 metres from the trumpet interchange near the BIA. Hence, it's like a traffic bottleneck. Due to civil work, the road width is less. We have to spend nearly 45 minutes at the toll gate," Shanmugappa explained
