The NHAI (National Highway Authority of India) has re-examined the Bengaluru – Mysuru expressway on Tuesday after a stretch of it was waterlogged due to moderate spell of rains. The officials said that the issues are rectified, and pipes are fixed for easy flow of rainwater.
The NHAI officials also directed the project director and contractor to strictly maintain the chain link fencing to ensure the safety of commuters. Earlier, days after the inauguration of this expressway, few vehicles were spotted plying in the wrong direction. In a tweet, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said, “NHAI RO Bengaluru inspected the site on Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway which witnessed waterlogging. He re-examined its cause and executed mitigation measures for immediate relief and to prevent any possible recurrence. The issue of adjoining villagers was critically examined to address the access from service road to the villages. He also checked the depth of the constructed drain.”
