Revised
cost estimate for four-laning of Tumakuru-Shivamogga section gets the nod, so officials can get on with the work soon
Connectivity from
Bengaluru to
Shivamogga is set to improve as the Union Transport Ministry has finally approved the revised cost estimate of the four-laning of the much delayed Tumakuru-Shivamogga section. Currently, there are a six-lane (Bengaluru city to Nelamangala) and a four-lane (Nelamangala to Tumakuru by pass) road and from Tumakuru by pass to Shivamogga, it is mostly a two-laned road. Though the four-laning of this road had begun a few years ago, the land acquisition cost had delayed the project.
