Bengaluru’s Varthur-Gunjur Corridor Faces Congestion Due to Rapid Urbanisation

The Varthur-Gunjur corridor in Bengaluru is experiencing severe congestion as urbanisation outpaces infrastructure development. Originally serving local traffic, the SH-35 corridor now handles vehicles from large residential areas, schools, offices, and heavy vehicles, but the road network has not expanded accordingly. Urban planner Deepa Managooli of the Greater Bengaluru Authority highlights this as a symptom of Bengaluru's broader lack of holistic urban planning amid rapid growth and migration.
