With a rise in the number of accidents on the Mysuru-Bengaluru Expressway, the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has planned to construct a skywalk at every village on the stretch.
The 119-km expressway is the first controlled-access road in South India. The authorities have installed mesh-wire fences on both sides to prevent people from crossing the road. But the locals have broken and damaged the fence at many points to cross the road resulting in accidents.
Sources said the accidents have become a headache for the authorities now. It has become difficult to check the illegal crossing of the road despite lodging complaints with the police.
