ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The traffic volume on existing national highway no. 7 from Bangalore city to Hosur city in southern India has substantially increased in recent years to an extent much beyond the capacity of the 4-lane highway. Apart from being a common stretch to the Golden Quadrilateral and North-South corridor of national highway network in India, this stretch provides daily access to large number of Information Technology and Bio-Technology professionals in Bangalore who commutes daily to the Electronic city appx. 9.5 km away from the downtown area. Due to the severe traffic congestion and consequent loss of precious man-hours on the road, the authorities had decided to construct an elevated expressway all along the road with full access control and tolling for providing a dedicated fast access on this corridor.
