Minister for Public Works Satish Jarkiholi said that the government was contemplating on building Karnataka’s first tunnel road way in Shiradi Ghat region, as an additional route to the Bengaluru-Mangaluru NH 75.
“This will not just be a permanent solution to reduce accidents in the region, but will also save time. I will meet Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, to get permission in this regard on Monday,” the minister said.
Jarkiholi was speaking after inspecting the four-lane works on the Hassan-Sakleshpur road and the Shiradi Ghat stretch of NH 75 on Saturday.
