Bangalore Road and Infrastructure Update 2025: Fixes, Expansions, and Future Plans
Bangalore is undergoing major road repairs and infrastructure upgrades in 2025, with government deadlines to fix potholes, new road and metro projects, and plans to ease traffic congestion.
Bangalore faces significant road challenges, including potholes and traffic jams. The Karnataka government, led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar, has set a strict deadline of October 31, 2025, to make the city pothole-free. Rs 750 crore has been allocated for repairs, with over 14,000 potholes identified and ongoing efforts to fix them with accountable supervision.
Alongside repairs, Bangalore is seeing transformative infrastructure projects under the ₹7,000 crore B-SMILE initiative. This mega plan aims to improve roads, flyovers, stormwater drainage, and public transportation. The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) now oversees civic projects to speed delivery and ensure quality.
The city’s metro system is expanding rapidly, targeting 314 km coverage, while new arterial and satellite town roads are being built to reduce congestion and improve connectivity. Major traffic points such as Outer Ring Road, Iblur Junction, and Hebbal are receiving targeted improvements funded at hundreds of crores.
Despite progress, traffic remains a challenge due to rising vehicle numbers. The government is investing ₹50 crore on expert-driven traffic management solutions to create sustainable transport models. These projects also boost real estate demand near upcoming metro corridors and ring roads.
