Bidar-Ballari road to be made four-lane express highway: Karnataka CM Bommai

Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai Saturday announced the existing Bidar-Ballari road will be made a four-lane express highway.

Speaking after hoisting the flag on the occasion of Kalyana Karnataka Amrit Mahotsav in Kalaburagi, he said the proposed express highway will play a vital role in improving the road connectivity in the region.

Bommai said steps have been initiated to build the airports in Raichur and Ballari, adding a ring road has been proposed covering Yadgir, Raichur and Kalaburgi with the Centre’s assistance.

“The Union government has decided to set up a textile park in Kalaburagi and the state government has resolved to establish textile parks in Raichur and Vijayapura. This will create around 25,000 jobs and this scheme will be launched soon,” Bommai said.
