Six-lane highway from Mysore to Bangalore planned

If the Karnataka government has its way, Bangalore-Mysore state highway will soon be upgraded from four-lane to six lane but road-users will have to pay a toll. “We will soon consider to prepare a detailed project report for the construction of a six-lane expressway between Bangalore and Mysore keeping in view the future requirements,” said PWD minister C M Udasi in the legislative council . Though the government had proposed to construct a four-lane road, the minister yielded to the demand of independent candidate Marithibbe Gowda. Udasi said the road will developed on public-private partnership and it would be toll roads. He said the quality of roads would reduce travelling time and accidents and cut down fuel consumption.
