Hennur Main Road pathetic
The Hennur Main road is in a pathetic condition. This is supposed to be the Link Road to new InternationalAirport, but we cannot call this a road. A complete mess, full of slush (you can not see a proper tarred road) after you leave the Ring Road junction. Imagine the condition of all local roads going away from this main road going away from this main road, for ex: behind Hennur-Bande the whole area is like some jungle..no proper access roads (this was supposed to be part of Arkavathy layout!)
There is a board near Hennur Bande bus stop which says that this Road is being re-done, which was supposed to be started sometime in March 2006 and end in November 2007..
But work has not even started. Would be very happy, if you could take a photo of that board and print it.
