Bengaluru Accelerates Pothole Repairs as GBA Targets Nov. 10 Finish

Officials deploy extra crews with night repairs to close the final backlog under quality scrutiny.

Overview

  • GBA says roughly 18,000 potholes—about 95% of the total—have been fixed, with the remainder expected in the next few days.
  • A reported November 10 deadline now drives completion of pending ward-level and key road stretches across the city.
  • Chief Commissioner M. Maheshwar Rao ordered five additional teams, night work on major corridors, and higher daily asphalt supply from the corporation plant.
  • Officials cite rain disruptions, staffing limits, and redeployment for a Social and Educational Survey as reasons for missed earlier timelines, while residents question repair durability.
  • Parallel upgrades continue: white-topping across 140 roads, black-topping at 44% completion, Suraksha 75 at 40%, ₹900 crore approved for ward works with ₹200 crore in tenders, Tunnel Road tenders in final stage, and the Ejipura flyover now due July 2026 because of land acquisition delays.
