Corridor Alignment & Engineering Features
Construction Update
Construction completed. Corridor fully operational. The entire alignment has been built to premium standards, bypassing urban traffic and linking directly to the main NICE Road network.
Route & Alignment
The Bengaluru NICE Link Road route acts as a vital arterial link in South-West Bengaluru. The Bengaluru NICE Link Road alignment spans approximately 9 km, originating near the Srinagar/Banashankari Outer Ring Road and terminating at the Sompura interchange. This helps streamline transit between central neighborhoods and the outer circumferential highway grid.
Looking at the Bengaluru NICE Link Road map, the link road provides seamless grade-separated junctions, reducing travel time to the Electronic City Elevated Expressway and the upcoming Bengaluru Peripheral Ring Road. By utilizing the NICE Link Road Bengaluru, commercial vehicles and private passenger cars can check the live traffic status and bypass local traffic grids along the Mysore Road corridor under the broader BMIC concession.

Bengaluru NICE Link Road FAQs
The Bengaluru NICE Link Road (Nandi Link Road) was opened to the public in phases as part of the overall Bangalore Mysore Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) project concession.
Yes, the Bengaluru NICE Link Road is an integral part of the Bangalore Mysore Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) project, linking the city's Outer Ring Road to the main NICE Peripheral Road corridor.
The Bengaluru NICE Link Road project refers to the new direct connection between Deepanjali Nagar Junction and NICE Road near Hosakerehalli. The newly built section is about 1.5 km long and forms an important access connection between Mysuru Road and the NICE peripheral corridor, improving access toward Kanakapura Road, Hosur Road, Challaghatta and the BengaluruâMysuru route.
The Bengaluru NICE Link Road is a four-lane connector providing direct access from Deepanjali Nagar Junction on Mysuru Road to the existing NICE Road near Hosakerehalli and PES College. The new connection is intended to give vehicles from central and western Bengaluru a more direct route to NICE Road without depending on the congested Nayandahalli route.
The new Bengaluru NICE Link Road starts at Deepanjali Nagar Junction on Mysuru Road and connects directly to the existing NICE Road near Hosakerehalli and PES College. From the NICE Road, motorists can continue toward Kanakapura Road, Hosur Road, Electronic City, Tumakuru Road and the BengaluruâMysuru corridor.
The new link starts at Deepanjali Nagar Junction near BHEL on Mysuru Road and joins NICE Road near PES College in the Hosakerehalli area. This direct connection avoids the need to follow the conventional congested route through Nayandahalli to reach NICE Road.
The newly opened Deepanjali NagarâNICE Road connection is approximately 1.5 km long and has four lanes. Some earlier reports referred to a broader approximately 9-km NICE link route toward Kengeri; this should not be confused with the specific 1.5-km direct connector between Deepanjali Nagar and NICE Road.
The Bengaluru NICE Link Road map shows the direct connection from Deepanjali Nagar Junction on Mysuru Road to NICE Road near Hosakerehalli and PES College. The link provides access to the wider NICE Road network and onward connections toward Kanakapura Road, Hosur Road, Electronic City, Challaghatta, Tumakuru Road and the BengaluruâMysuru corridor.
The alignment runs from Deepanjali Nagar Junction on Mysuru Road toward the existing NICE Road near Hosakerehalli. It was developed to create a more direct connection between Mysuru Road and NICE Road, avoiding several congested junctions and signals on the conventional route through Nayandahalli.
A reliable, officially published project cost for the specific 1.5-km Deepanjali NagarâNICE Road connector could not be established from the latest available public reports. Therefore, a specific construction cost should not be presented as an official figure without a verified government or project-authority source.
The new Bengaluru NICE Link Road was developed by Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprises Limited (NICE), the company associated with the BengaluruâMysuru Infrastructure Corridor and the existing NICE Road network.
The construction of the approximately 1.5-km Deepanjali NagarâNICE Road connector was substantially completed by March 2026. The four-lane road was opened for traffic on a trial basis in March 2026, allowing motorists to use the new direct connection to NICE Road.
The new 1.5-km Bengaluru NICE Link Road is operational for traffic following its March 2026 opening and trial run. Reports at the time indicated that a formal Karnataka government inauguration was still pending, so the road should be described as opened for traffic rather than as a newly proposed or under-construction project.
The major recent development was the opening of the approximately 1.5-km four-lane Deepanjali NagarâNICE Road link in March 2026. The connection was opened for trial traffic and provides direct access to NICE Road near Hosakerehalli, reducing the need for motorists to pass through congested Nayandahalli-area routes.
The Bengaluru NICE Link Road provides a direct connection between Mysuru Road and NICE Road, allowing vehicles to bypass several congested junctions and signals around Nayandahalli. It is intended to distribute traffic more efficiently and provide faster access toward Hosakerehalli, Banashankari 6th Stage, Kanakapura Road, Hosur Road and Challaghatta.
The link connects Deepanjali Nagar and the Mysuru Road corridor with NICE Road near Hosakerehalli and PES College. Through the existing NICE network, it provides onward connectivity toward Banashankari 6th Stage, Kanakapura Road, Hosur Road, Electronic City, Challaghatta and Tumakuru Road.
Not exactly. The original BMIC/NICE project included a much longer city Link Road, historically described as about 9.1 km, connecting the city-side road network near PESIT with the NICE Peripheral Road. The newer Deepanjali Nagar connection is a separate approximately 1.5-km direct connector to NICE Road. These two should not be treated as the same project or given the same length.
The Bengaluru NICE Link Road should not be confused with the separate proposed connector between the Bengaluru Business Corridor, formerly the Peripheral Ring Road, and NICE Road near Madavara. That proposed PRRâNICE integration is a different project with a separate alignment and land-acquisition process.
