Hosur Road is the part of National Highway 48, erstwhile NH44, which connects metropolis Bengaluru and industrial City Hosur. It is a four to eight-lane access controlled highway. The road is part of the National Highway network.

The National Highways Authority of India has constructed a 10-kilometer-long elevated highway from Madiwala to Electronic City. The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike and Bangalore Development Authority have planned a series of flyovers and underpasses to make this arterial road signal free.{{cite news|url=http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Repository/ml.asp?Ref=QkdNSVIvMjAwOS8xMC8yNyNBcjAwNTAw&Mode=HTML&Locale=english-skin-custom|title=Hosur Road widening is in full swing|author=Manasi|date=27 October 2009|publisher=Bangalore Mirror|access-date=27 March 2011|location=Bangalore|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120829211630/http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Repository/ml.asp?Ref=QkdNSVIvMjAwOS8xMC8yNyNBcjAwNTAw&Mode=HTML&Locale=english-skin-custom|archive-date=29 August 2012|url-status=dead}} The project is a part of the BETL (Bangalore Elevated Tollways Ltd), project as part of the National Highways Development Project and the Elevated Highways Project.
