BENGALURU: If you are waiting to zip down the 10-lane Bengaluru-Mysuru highway in 90 minutes, don’t rev up yet. The project is all set to miss yet another deadline, this time due to the second wave of Covid-19. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has taken up the work at an estimated cost of Rs 7,400 crore. The stretch includes nine major bridges, 44 minor bridges and four road overbridges and the project has been divided into two packages – Bengaluru to Nidaghatta in Maddur (56.2 km) and Nidaghatta to Mysuru (60 km). The highway will also have bypasses at Bidadi, Ramanagara, Channapatna, Maddur, Mandya and Srirangapatna.
