Four bridges(two bridges on each side of the road) are being constructed for past 2 years in Outer Ring Road, Bellandur Area and still none of the bridges are being completed . Due to construction some part of outer ring road gets blocked and hence result in the traffic at peak hours where a normal half an hour journey leads up to the 2 hours journey. Most of the area has dirt and stones there on the road (near the bridge construction) on which any two-wheeler can skid and hence can cause an accident.
