Sharavathi Bridge to improve connectivity in coastal regions
Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for 9 National Highway projects spanning 88 km, with an investment exceeding Rs.2,000 crore, on 14 July in Sagara Town, Shivamogga, Karnataka https://www.conexpoconagg.com/.
The newly inaugurated Sharavathi Bridge is to significantly improve connectivity between the Malnad and coastal regions, while also facilitating easier access to important pilgrimage centres such as the Sigandur Chowdeshwari and Kollur Mookambika temples.
The widening of the 47-kilometre-long Bidar–Humnabad section of NH-367 will substantially reduce travel time between the districts of Kalaburagi and Bidar.
Restoration works undertaken in the Shiradi Ghat stretch of NH-75 are expected to ensure safe and uninterrupted traffic movement during the monsoon season, particularly along the vital Mangaluru–Bengaluru corridor https://www.globaltenders.com/.
The construction of a Road Over Bridge (ROB) at Shahabad and a bridge over the Kagina River on NH-50 will ensure seamless connectivity between Kalaburagi and Raichur https://ted.europa.eu/en/.
In addition, road safety enhancements on the Bengaluru–Mysuru Access-Controlled Expressway will facilitate faster, safer, and more efficient travel between Karnataka and Kerala, while also reducing travel time and fuel consumption, said Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Fiinews.com
