The Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR,[1] NH 948A) is a 280.8km (174.5miles) ring road under construction around Bangalore city, the capital of Karnataka state in India.[2] The project is being developed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) under Bharatmala Pariyojana. The entire STRR project involves a length of 367km (228miles) around Bengaluru that will connect the eight major satellite towns. Of this, NHAI will build 240km (150miles) of expressway.[3]
The NHAI is targeting to complete the first phase, involving the 82km (51miles) stretch between Dobbspet and Ramanagara, in about three years. Another 30km (20miles) stretch between Dobbespet and Magadi is being built under K-SHIP.
The NHAI has divided the STRR project into three phases, said RK Suryawanshi, regional officer at NHAI, Bengaluru. The NHAI, he said, would take up Phase III ahead of Phase II. The second phase would be taken up next year. Another NHAI official said the 56-km Phase II has been kept on hold as it passes through the boundaries of eco-sensitive Bannerghatta National Park.
The 80 km stretch of Dabaspete-Hoskote section of National Highway 648, also being a part of the STRR was inaugurated on 11 March 2024.[4]
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) has accorded terms of reference (ToR) for development of Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR) Phase-I.
The project envisages development of STRR Phase-I of NH-948A from Dobbaspete to Ramanagara (0.000 km to 82.200 km) 82.20 km in Ramanagara District, Karnataka.
