The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) is all set to call tenders for Packages 2 and 3 of the 73.4 km long Peripheral Ring Road-1, even as work on Package 1 of this project has already begun.

N.A. Haris, Chairman, BDA, speaking at ‘#THTalksBengaluru’ — The Hindu’s reader interactive programme — on Thursday, said the Peripheral Ring Road (PRR), now renamed the Bengaluru Business Corridor, had been a long-pending project since 2006 and was revived due to Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar’s initiative.

“This is a key project to decongest Bengaluru, as it will take away all the ‘through’ traffic. It is like a necklace around the neck of Bengaluru. It is a 125 km road around the city. We have started work on PRR-1, and we will also do PRR-2,” he asserted.
