Construction of a flyover on the outskirts of Mysuru on the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway, Peripheral Ring Road, and railway overbridges in the city was mentioned in the Karnataka Budget presented by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the Legislative Assembly on Friday, February 16.
Reading out the Budget, Mr. Siddaramaiah said a flyover will be constructed on the outskirts of the city on the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway to reduce traffic congestion. The flyover will be constructed in collaboration with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), he said.
The flyover, which is expected to come up on the highway at the Manipal Hospital junction with Outer Ring Road, is aimed at decongesting the road, which has begun witnessing traffic snarls, particularly after the newly widened Bengaluru-Mysuru highway was thrown open to the traffic last year.
