A large number of projects by various agencies like BMRCL, BDA, BBMP, Railways and NHAI are currently in progress, which will help in easing traffic congestion in long term. These projects include both the aspects of traffic congestion i.e. creation of efficient transportation system and addition / improvement of road infrastructure. It is worthwhile to highlight here that all these ongoing works will be adding to traffic congestion and it will continue to do so till completion. In fact with the initiation of Metro work and seamless travel plan Outer Ring Road, traffic woes and jams are going to be aggravated for next two years before the benefits are experienced by public in long term.

Traffic Police is working in close co-ordination with all civic agencies for creating effective Traffic Management plans which could minimize the misery of common public to the extent best possible.

Following is the list of ongoing projects that will continue to contribute to traffic congestion in short term but provide sustainable relief in long term.

The "Reach One" between Byappanahalli and M.G.Road is completed. Work has been started simultaneously on Reach two, Reach three and Reach four from November 2008 and from March 2009 work has started on the Underground Segment between Minks Square near CTO and Majestic through Dr. Ambedkar Veedhi in front of Vidhana Soudha. All these works will create massive traffic disruption and inconvenience to the public until it is completed.
