The year 2025 is drawing to a close, but what seems to have no end in sight are Bengaluru’s infrastructure woes. Like every year in the recent past, poor condition of the city’s roads and unfinished public infrastructure hogged the limelight this year too.
While citizens and media reports alike highlighted the prolonged delay of these projects and the consequent struggles faced by daily commuters, heated online exchanges — some involving big names like Bengaluru Development Minister D.K. Shivakumar and businesswoman Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw — not only added fuel to the fire but also ensured the city retained its global notoriety.
In ‘Caught in a Limbo’, The Hindu’s Bengaluru reporters track the city’s infrastructure projects that have continued to drag on. While some are progressing at an excruciatingly slow pace, others have been stalled midway and a few more are languishing as non-starters in the planning stage. The series will examine the many pending flyovers, ramps, underpasses, and road works that are at different stages of completion.
