Work on the 60-m wide 10-lane Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway project is expected to begin by December. The government has completed acquiring 2,200 acres needed for the project, and only compensation remains to be paid. Land acquisition is almost complete, and NHAI only needs the clearance from the ministry to start the work
Once the expressway is ready, it will take just 90 minutes to reach Mysuru from Bengaluru," Public Works Minister HC Mahadevappa said. Both Mahadevappa and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah hail from Mysuru. The expressway will cover a distance of 118 km between Pancha mukhi temple after NICE road in Bengaluru and Columbia Asia hospital junction in Mysuru. The NHAI project will have six bypasses at Bidadi, Ramanagar, Channapattana, Maddur, Mandya and Srirangapattana
The NHAI takes up a project if 90% of the land needed for the purpose is acquired. In this case, since the acquisition is complete, the NHAI is only required to decide the execution mode, said N Lakshmana Rao Peshwe, chief engineer (national highways), public works department
