The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has approved proposals to construct two vehicular overpass and an underpass at three black spots on National Highway 66 between Mangaluru and Kundapur, including KPT Junction here, at an estimated cost of ₹95 crore.
Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel in a communique here said that NHAI headquarters has approved a proposal from its Mangaluru Project Implementation Unit (PIU) to undertake long-term measures to mitigate woes at KPT Junction. The vehicular overpass at this junction, where Bejai Main Road and Airport Road meet National Highway 66, will be built at an estimated cost of ₹34.6 crore.
Mr. Kateel said that the overpass will be able to address traffic bottleneck at the busy junction and tenders will be floated for the construction soon. He thanked Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari for sanctioning the project.
