Four-lane ring road work to start in 6 months: CM Basavaraj Bommai

BENGALURU: Chief minister Basavaraj Bommai said construction work on the four-lane Satellite Town Ring Road connecting Dobbspet and Hosur will start in six months.

Bommai met Union road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari in Delhi on Wednesday and held discussions about the project. “Some issues pertaining to land acquisition were sorted out. The minister has agreed to speed up the project,” he said, adding if implemented, the 42km project will decongest half of Bengaluru. The Centre has taken it up under its Bharatmala project. While the state has to bear 30 per cent of the cost towards land acquisition, the Centre will pay for construction.
