North Bangalore Connectivity | Metro NH-44 STRR Kempegowda Airport

North Bangalore’s connectivity is transforming access between central Bengaluru, Yelahanka, Hebbal, Devanahalli and Kempegowda International Airport (KIA). Key road, metro and ring-road projects below are based on publicly reported government and infrastructure agency plans; completion timelines may change.

NH-44 (Bellary Road): Primary highway from Hebbal to Devanahalli and KIA. NHAI has undertaken widening and upgrade works on this corridor to handle airport and industrial traffic.
Namma Metro – Blue Line (Airport corridor): Phase 2B extends metro connectivity toward Kempegowda International Airport from the ORR/K.R. Puram side, forming a long north–south rapid transit link. Check BMRCL for current commissioning schedules.
Metro extension toward Devanahalli: Karnataka budget announcements have proposed further metro / transit links beyond KIA toward Devanahalli town (feasibility and PPP studies reported in media).
Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR): ~280 km ring road (NHAI) connecting satellite towns including Devanahalli, Dobbaspet, Hoskote and others; partial sections have been opened to improve orbital movement around Bengaluru.
Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) / Bangalore Business Corridor: Planned high-capacity peripheral road (~65–73 km) to reduce city centre congestion; state proposals have discussed PPP implementation.
Suburban rail: KSR Bengaluru City – Yelahanka – Devanahalli corridor planned under Bengaluru suburban rail initiatives to complement metro and road access.
BMTC airport buses: Frequent bus services connect Majestic, Hebbal, Yelahanka and other hubs to KIA via Bellary Road and alternate routes.
BMIC & logistics: Bangalore–Mysore Infrastructure Corridor and airport-area logistics / industrial parks support freight and employment in the northern belt.
