Bengaluru: Bengaluru East City Corporation has finished laying concrete on a 170-metre stretch on the right-hand side of Hennur–Bagalur Road as part of its white-topping work, the Greater Bengaluru Authority said on November 10.
The corporation laid M40-grade pavement-quality concrete between chainage markers 1+060 m and 0+890 m. The work is part of Package 6 of the Karnataka government-funded white-topping programme being carried out through B-SMILE.
White-topping uses a concrete surface on the road. The authority said the paving and quality checks are intended to improve the road’s durability and provide a smoother ride.
The work follows directions issued during an October 26 inspection of Hennur–Bagalur Road, when Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda asked officials to speed up the work and plan alternative routes and wider footpaths.
