The new Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway has witnessed 308 fatal and non-fatal accidents, resulting in 100 deaths and leaving over 300 people injured.
The 118-km-long expressway was inaugurated on March 12, 2023. The six-lane expressway reduces the travel time between Bengaluru and Mysuru from three hours to 75 minutes.
But the increase in number of accidents has forced the authorities to bring in several restrictions and safety measures.
