Once opened, the route will offer smooth, toll-based travel to key roads such as Hosur Road, Electronic City, Mysuru Road and Tumakuru Road.

IT industry leader and former Infosys CFO Mohandas Pai on Sunday hailed the upcoming NICE Road stretch as a major gain for the city, saying it would help ease traffic on Mysuru Road.

In a post on X, Pai wrote, “This is fantastic. When will it open? A big big boon to Bengaluru. Mysore road will get decongested Thanks DCM."

Pai was reposting a message by Ashok Kheny, former MLA and Managing Director of Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprises (NICE). Kheny said the long wait for Bengalureans was finally coming to an end and that one of the most well-developed stretches of NICE Road would soon be ready.

“Soon, one of the most beautiful and well-developed NICE road in our city will be ready to serve you. This new stretch connecting Deepanjalinagar Junction to the NICE Expressway is set to make your drive smoother, faster, and more enjoyable. Get ready to experience a hassle-free ride, better connectivity, and a refreshing drive through this upgraded route," Kheny wrote.

The NICE Managing Director noted that motorists could expect better connectivity and a hassle-free ride, and confirmed that the project is in its final stages, with the opening planned soon.

It is expected to improve connectivity from central parts of the city and help motorists avoid heavy congestion on busy stretches. For many commuters, the new link could mean faster and more convenient journeys across Bengaluru.
