Heading to Mysuru, Coorg or Ooty this October 2 break? Expect slower approaches. Mysuru City Police have diverted KSRTC and private buses around Manipal Hospital Junction, where a flyover is under construction. The order, active since September 27, affects buses using National Highway 275 to enter or exit the city. Holiday traffic could amplify delays near the junction. Plan alternate exits and timings accordingly.
Incoming buses from Bengaluru now turn left at Kempegowda Circle for Ring Road, then pass Pushpashrama and the Mahadevapura Road junction, before Udayagiri, Samosa Corner and Kalikamba junction. They rejoin Abba Road, continue via Pilot Circle, B.N. Road, KSRTC Arch, Mini Vidhana Soudha, Hutatma Hemachandra and Hardinge Circle to the bus stand. Outbound services rejoin NH‑275 through Ambedkar, Rajkumar, LIC and Link Road corridors.
Mysuru flyover works: Bengaluru–Mysuru Ring Road bypasses
Driving yourself? Avoid Manipal Junction by using Mysuru Ring Road, notified as National Highway 275K. For Coorg, exit at Srirangapatna or Ranganathittu and join the northern arc near Elivala toward Hunsur Road. For Ooty, use the southern arc toward APMC Bandipalya and Nanjangud Road. Hinkal offers a western entry that skirts core congestion.
Best Bengaluru leave timings for NH‑275
The lightest outbound windows are Thursday evening or Friday pre‑dawn. These slots help clear the Kaniminike and Sheshagirihalli toll choke points before peaking. Expect heavier streams mid‑Friday and Saturday morning as weekenders stack up at tolls and merges. Aim for steady speeds and hold lanes to reduce rolling bottlenecks.
| Date | Recommended window | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 1, Thursday | 7 pm–9 pm | Beat late‑night surge, smoother toll flow near Bengaluru exits. |
| Oct 2, Friday | 5 am–7 am | Clear tolls before commuter and holiday traffic builds. |
NH‑275 choke points and Oct 4–5 return plan
Watch Kaniminike and Sheshagirihalli tolls while outbound, then Mandya district clusters returning. NHAI data flags Maddur Exit and K. Shettihalli near Srirangapatna as high‑risk spots. Stagger returns: Sunday early morning, Monday pre‑dawn, or after 9:30 pm. Top up FASTag, refuel at Bidadi or Maddur food courts, and track live congestion.
As of Tuesday, September 30, Mysuru’s bus diversions remain in force, with municipal officials pressing contractors to clear worksite debris before crowds swell. Expect tweaks if police refine flows through the evening. Check Mysuru Police updates before departure, stick to Ring Road bypasses, and keep flexible start times for smoother drives and safer returns on October 4–5.
