The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has initiated a safety inspection of the Bengaluru-Mysuru access-controlled highway in Karnataka. A committee has been formed to conduct the inspection and is currently on-site, with the study set to be completed by July 20.
The Bengaluru-Mysuru access-controlled highway, inaugurated in March 2023, spans 118 kilometers and includes a section of NH-275. This highway has significantly reduced travel time between the two cities, cutting it down to just 75 minutes.
The corridor features several infrastructure developments aimed at improving traffic congestion and ensuring public safety. It includes four rail overbridges, nine major bridges, 40 minor bridges, 89 underpasses and overpasses, and six bypasses to alleviate traffic issues in the towns of Bidadi, Ramnagara, Channapatna, Maddur, Mandya, and Srirangapatna.
One of NHAI’s top priorities is to enhance safety on national highways, and the Bengaluru-Mysuru access-controlled highway is a testament to their commitment. This road connection not only benefits commuters within Karnataka but also provides connectivity to neighboring states such as Tamil Nadu and Kerala. It has also helped decongest popular tourist destinations like Coorg, Srirangapatna, Wayanad, and Ooty.
The committee conducting the safety inspection will submit its report within 10 days of completing the visit. NHAI aims to ensure a safe and seamless travel experience for all commuters on national highways, and this inspection will further contribute to this goal. By promoting safe travel, the Bengaluru-Mysuru access-controlled highway will continue to serve the people of Karnataka effectively.
