Silk Board junction

Located adjacent to the Central Silk Board office complex near BTM Layout at the intersection of Hosur Road and Outer Ring Road, the junction is known for its bottleneck traffic congestion as it is one of the busiest intersections in India.

The proximity to these two major hubs in the city, known as the "IT capital of India", has led to a bottleneck of vehicular movement at the junction.
