NHAI will be implementing additional signages and other road safety features from Km 18.000 to Km 135.304 on the Bengaluru–Nidagatta–Mysuru section of NH-275 Mysuru Bengaluru Highway in the state of Karnataka.
Overspeeding has been a significant issue on the recently opened NH 275 Mysuru Bengaluru highway. To address this concern and ensure safe driving, NHAI has undertaken several measures. It recently prohibited certain types of vehicles on the highway to prevent mixed traffic scenarios that could pose safety risks.
Foot Over Bridges & Missing ROBs on Mysuru Bengaluru Highway
NHAI will also be constructing 24 foot overbridges at various locations to facilitate the safe passage of pedestrians across the highway.
Significantly, NHAI will be constructing the missing ROBs on the NH 275 Mysuru Bengaluru Highway Service Lanes. This will ensure that the public traveling on the service roads can seamlessly travel end to end on the service lanes itself without having to pass through the towns. Currently, there are three gaps on the Service Road due to Railway Over Bridges (ROBs) at Bidadi, Ramanagara & Channapatna, and Mandya.
