Bengaluru, March 28: Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday, shared an update on construction work of Bengaluru - Nidaghatta - Mysuru section of NH-275. This national highway is important, as it will be connecting the 2 important cities in Karnataka - Bengaluru (commercial capital) & Mysuru (cultural capital).
The stretch will have state of art project which will have multiple structures like 8 km long elevated corridor, 9 major bridges, 42 minor bridges, 64 underpasses, 11 overpasses, 4 ROBs and 5 bypasses which will ease out traffic congestion and significantly reduce pollution.
“This road will substantially reduce the travel time from Bengaluru to Mysuru from 3 hours to 75 minutes only. It will enhance connectivity between the two important cities and provide an impetus to tourism and economy in the region," Nitin Gadkari.
The upgradation to 6 lanning along with 7m service road on each side and construction of bypasses at Maddur, Mandya & Srirangapatna and grade separated structures of this stretch of the National Highway will greatly reduce the time and cost of travel, particularly of heavy traffic plying in the region. The provision for by-passes will ensure decongestion of these urban areas.
Elevated road has been proposed in the dense built-up areas of Maddur. The project entails construction of service roads of about 60.35 km on both sides, which would facilitate movement of local traffic in the inhabited /urbanized areas.
It also links important places like Mangalore, Kodagu, parts of Kerala, to Bangalore. The entire highway has been designed as a fully access-controlled facility with provision of service roads on both side in entire length.
