Almost a decade after completion of the Outer Ring Road, a lacunae in the project which was left unattended for years due to paucity of funds, is set to be corrected within six months.
Four road underbridges cut across ORR but the four-lane highway and the two-lane service roads abutting it barrels into a two-lane road while bisecting the RUB. This not only used to reduce the speed of the vehicles plying along the ORR but also posed a risk to motorists, especially at night.
Though the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) mooted rectification by widening the portion of the road that cuts across the railway bridge, it could not be taken up due to financial constraints. Besides, the MUDA lacked the expertise to take up a project that would impact the railways.
