Mangaluru | Woes of Kalladka residents continue as flyover work on NH 75 leaves little space for rainwater drainage

Heavy movement of vehicles between Bengaluru and Mangaluru on National Highway 75 this past weekend due to a series of holidays resulted in vehicles having to crawl in and around Kalladka town amid the slush filled carriageway.

With the work on the 2.1 km flyover in the town moving at a snail’s pace and the service roads below not having proper rainwater drainage facility, water got accumulated on the road making driving miserable. Pedestrians in the busy town also had a harrowing time walking on the road flanks or crossing the highway, said Jafar Kalladka, a resident of the town.
