Tin Factory junction

The Tin Factory junction is a road junction in Bangalore, India. Located near Krishnarajapura railway station on Old Madras Road, the junction witnesses high traffic congestion^[1] and is one of the worst traffic bottlenecks in the city.^[2] The junction connects the Outer Ring Road IT cluster of Mahadevapura–Marathahalli–Bellandur with areas along the National Highway 44 such as Hebbal.^[1]

In 2018, Bangalore Traffic Police installed a traffic signal at the junction in order to ensure free vehicular movement.^[1] In 2019, Government of Karnataka announced that a flyover would be constructed at the junction which would connect the Outer Ring Road cable bridge with Benniganahalli Flyover.^[3][4] In November 2019, a 17-kilometer BMTC priority bus lane was inaugurated between Tin Factory junction and Silk Board junction.^[5]

A Namma Metro station, named Benniganahalli, at Tin Factory junction has been constructed on the Purple Line. A plan to build a double-decked Metro-cum-flyover corridor at the junction was dropped, after BMRCL found the proposal to be infeasible.^[6]
