NEW DELHI, JULY 15, 2025: UNION Minister Nitin Gadkari, inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for 9 National Highway projects spanning 88 km, with an investment exceeding Rs.2,000 crore, in the presence of Union Minister Pralhad Joshi Ji, former Chief Minister of Karnataka B.S. Yediyurappa Ji, MPs, MLAs, and senior officials yesterday in Sagara Town, Shivamogga, Karnataka.

The newly inaugurated Sharavathi Bridge is poised to significantly improve connectivity between the Malnad and coastal regions, while also facilitating easier access to important pilgrimage centres such as the Sigandur Chowdeshwari and Kollur Mookambika temples.

The widening of the 47-kilometre-long Bidar-Humnabad section of NH-367 will substantially reduce travel time between the districts of Kalaburagi and Bidar. Restoration works undertaken in the Shiradi Ghat stretch of NH-75 are expected to ensure safe and uninterrupted traffic movement during the monsoon season, particularly along the vital Mangaluru-Bengaluru corridor.

The construction of a Road Over Bridge (ROB) at Shahabad and a bridge over the Kagina River on NH-50 will ensure seamless connectivity between Kalaburagi and Raichur. In addition, road safety enhancements on the Bengaluru-Mysuru Access-Controlled Expressway will facilitate faster, safer, and more efficient travel between Karnataka and Kerala, while also reducing travel time and fuel consumption.
