“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.
