The Dairy Circle flyover carries traffic over the Dairy Circle junction in south-central Bengaluru, where Hosur Road, Bannerghatta Road and the Lakkasandra and Wilson Garden side streets meet. The junction is named after a former Karnataka Milk Federation dairy and sits in the Lakkasandra and Wilson Garden area (PIN 560030), a few kilometres south of the city centre.
It matters because it links the old city and Jayanagar with Koramangala, Silk Board and the Electronic City corridor. Peak traffic is heavy, roughly 8:30–10:30 AM and 5:30–9:00 PM, so plan around those hours.
I could not find a reliable source for the flyover’s length or opening year, so the guide leaves those out rather than guess.

Connectivity
Roads. Hosur Road is part of National Highway 48 and links Bengaluru with Hosur. Dairy Circle sits at its junction with Bannerghatta Road, and the Outer Ring Road is nearby. Buses, app cabs and autos all serve the junction.
Metro. Dairy Circle will get its own underground station on the Pink Line, between Lakkasandra and Tavarekere. It is still under construction, with an opening around December 2026 that remains unconfirmed, and reports from late September 2026 point to further delays on the Pink Line. Treat any date as provisional until BMRCL announces it.
