BMRCL to extend Green Line Metro to BIEC

BMRCL
Mass transport connectivity on Nelamangala and Mysuru roads is set to get a big boost with the BMRCL's decision to extend the stretch between Manjunath Nagar to Madavara (BIEC). Once work on this line is completed, the green line metro network will be expanded from Nagasandra to BIEC. Currently, residents of Nelamangala have to travel till Nagasandra. in fact, a large number of people are shifting to Nelamangala to buy properties as they are quite affordable. Travelling was the only issue; however, with the metro extension one can easily reach various parts of the city. As BIEC is on the junction of NICE Road, even those travelling via NICE Road can park their vehicles to take the metro. Locals who plan to buy properties are now eyeing areas in and around Nelamangala as reaching there have become easier. Construction of the Nelamangala expressway as a six-lane access-controlled road, along with the four-lane toll free service road, has made travel between Nelamangala and other parts of the city more feasible. Additionally, Nelamangala has multiple connecting roads - Hassan, Tumakuru, Airport (via Madhure), and NICE, and there are also proposals to extend the metro beyond BIEC.
