Bengaluru-Nidaghatta stretch to be opened in July

The first package of the Bengaluru–Mysuru expressway corridor from Bengaluru to Nidaghatta will be thrown open to motorists by July, Member of Parliament from Mysuru Pratap Simha has said.

In a video released on social media, Mr. Simha said that all the major works, including the 4.5-km flyover after Rajarajeshwari Medical College and 8-km Bidadi bypass, are at an advanced stage of completion. The first toll gate will come up at Kaniminike for motorists travelling from Bengaluru to Mysuru. At the toll gate, 11 booths, including VIP lanes, will be operational for smooth flow of traffic.

The MP said that the expressway work was taken up in two packages; the first package is from Bengaluru to Niadaghatta for a stretch of 56 km, and Nidagatta to Mysuru of 61 km. He has also said that the commitment given to open the entire stretch by Dasara will be delivered and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the expressway.
