Entry, exit points closer to the towns that are being bypassed sought so as to ensure seamless travel
The ongoing works on the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway may incorporate entry and exit points closer to the towns that are being bypassed so as to benefit the local community and ensure seamless travel.
The project, which is set to shore up connectivity between Bengaluru and Mysuru and reduce the commuting time, bypasses Bidadi, Ramanagaram, Channapatana, Maddur and Srirangapatna.
But the current design of the highway does not provide for entry and exit points near the towns and one has to traverse for 7 to 8 km along the service roads before entering the towns. Conversely the motorists have to travel a few km along the service roads before merging with the main carriageway.
