Karnataka: After KIA road, NHAI to beautify pillars on Tumakuru highway

BENGALURU: National Highways Authority of India is looking for sponsors to adopt pillars under the 4-km elevated section of NH-48 which connects Bengaluru and Tumakuru.
There are over 118 pillars on this stretch between Peenya and Nagasandra, NHAI officials said on Monday, while unveiling 101 pillars that have been given a facelift under the elevated airport expressway between Hebbal and Kempegowda International Airport.
“Under Electronics City elevated expressway, work on beautification of pillars is under way. But those on Tumakuru highway are lying vacant and we are looking for sponsors to adopt and maintain them. We are keen on collaborating with the corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm of companies to bring in a sense of ownership about public spaces.
