Kalladka flyover partially opens: will Bengaluru-Mangaluru traffic finally ease?

The partial opening of the Kalladka flyover marks a significant milestone in the four-lane expansion of National Highway 75 (NH-75), connecting Bengaluru and Mangaluru. This infrastructure upgrade is expected to ease the chronic traffic congestion that has long plagued this busy corridor.

According to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the project is nearing completion, with 85.63% of the work done between B.C. Road and Periyashanthi and 95.17% completed between Periyashanthi and Adda Hole. The flyover's partial opening already provides relief to commuters, reducing travel time and improving road safety.

NHAI officials have expressed their commitment to finishing the remaining work promptly, emphasizing the importance of delivering the full benefits of the upgraded highway to the public. The enhanced infrastructure is anticipated to not only alleviate congestion but also enhance the overall driving experience along this vital route.

"The improved infrastructure is expected to alleviate congestion, reduce travel time, and enhance road safety for all users," said an NHAI spokesperson.

As the project progresses toward full completion, residents and travelers between Bengaluru and Mangaluru look forward to smoother, safer journeys, marking a positive development in regional connectivity and economic activity.
