Everyone, even FM P. Chidambaram seems to know that when the BIAL airport will finally be ready, it wont be accessible easily. There is practicaly no high-capacity road or rail link to connect the city to the airport.

However, one needs excessive levels of optimism to believe that they can get a road ready by next 9 months. Its understandable that the land acquisition costs are high, but they should have been worrying about it long ago.

Well, to summarise, be prepared for a traffic jam on your way to the new airport.

Reclassified As Special State Highway
Thats interesting
Visitor,
that is indeed good news. I am not sure of the scope of this reclassification, but I am optimistic that this will help expedite the completion of the road in near future if not in next 9 months. (Please consider registering on the site so that we can have a personal face to your voice).
Bangalorean: see the situation is not that hopeless after all :) Someone is doing something.
