Hebbala, is a neighbourhood in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, which was once indicative of the north endpoint of the city. Though originally famous for Hebbala Lake,[1] it is now better known for the serpentine maze of flyovers that network the Outer Ring Road and Airport Road on NH 44. The flyover spans a length of 5.23 kilometres (3.2 mi) over all the loops combined. The flyover was built by Gammon India.[2] The lake area in Hebbala is well-known for its picnic spots, a well-maintained park, boating facilities and for the bird watching opportunities.
Hebbala used to be the end of the municipal corporation limits. One can still see the milestone between the Baptist hospital and checkpost. Bengaluru has now grown quite a bit towards north,[3] beyond these marks. L&T factory, which was established in the 1970s, is also close to Hebbala. GKVK University and Manyata Tech Park with a number of office buildings and commercial enterprises makes Hebbala an attractive investment spot.
