The expressway linking Bengaluru with Mysuru Expressway is expected to be fully functional by September 2022, Mysuru MP Pratap Simha said on Wednesday.
“As much as 81% of the work under Package 1 (Bengaluru to Nidaghatta) and 72% under Package 2 (Nidaghatta to Mysuru) has been completed,” Simha stated.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) project is estimated to cost Rs 8,066 crore.
The MP said that work was progressing at a brisk pace and is expected to be completed three months ahead of the deadline set at the end of 2022.
As per NHAI plans, the expressway will comprise six lanes (three on each side) for carriageway and four lanes for service roads (double-laned) along the entire path.
