New Delhi: The 117-kilometre long stretch of the national highway in Karnataka will now be reduced to only 75 minutes travel time from Bengaluru to Mysuru in October, Union minister Nitin Gadkari said on Monday.
“The Bengaluru – Nidaghatta – Mysuru section of NH-275 is a 10-Lane, 117 km long stretch in the State of Karnataka. It is being developed at a cost of ₹ 8,350 Cr. The construction work is nearing completion and will be completed by October 2022,” Union minister Nitin Gadkari said.
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.
This state of art project has 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.
