India, Aug. 7 -- The Karnataka government is planning a second underground road project in Bengaluru, a 2.2-km-long six-lane tunnel from Hebbal to the Veterinary College on Ballari Road. This comes after tenders were floated for the Hebbal-Silk Board tunnel road.

The new tunnel aims to ease traffic congestion on the Hebbal flyover and provide a direct link between Kempegowda International Airport and Mehkri Circle, Times of India reported.

According to the report, the tunnel will begin near the Nadaprabhu Kempegowda statue located within the tree park at the Hebbal flyover junction and pass under Tumakuru Road at the Outer Ring Road junction before emerging at the Veterinary College grounds.
