The traffic bottleneck on the Mysuru-Nanjangud section is expected to ease considerably as the railways will take up track-doubling work till Ashokapuram.
At a review meeting of various railway projects under Gati Shakti unit in Mysuru division held on Tuesday, September 5, the officials said that the proposal for doubling from Mysuru to Ashokapuram was being processed and will come through in due course.
The entire stretch beyond Mysuru Junction towards Nanjangud and Chamarajanagar is a single-line track and adds to traffic bottleneck. If the doubling is completed till Ashokapuram, it will ease the traffic bottle neck considerable and also enable authorities to extend more trains to Ashokauram station whose capacity has been augmented.
