There is news of great relief for the passengers between Bangalore and Mumbai. The 72 km stretch of the new 6-lane highway connecting Chittadurga to Davanagere in Karnataka will reduce travel time and increase connectivity.

Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari shared pictures of this stretch on Monday. He hailed it as a "lifeline" linking the financial capital to the tech hub.
 
Gadkari emphasized the efficiency of this route. He described it as a time-saving, fuel-efficient, and environment-friendly travel mode. Gadkari said on social media -A symphony of efficient and eco-friendly travel."

According to media reports, the cost of this project is estimated to be around Rs 1400 crore. To reduce future maintenance expenses, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) plans to use sustainable technologies and materials such as plastics in bituminous concrete and milling materials in service roads.

Gadkari said the project complements the earlier announcement of building a highway between Nelamangala and Devihalli in Karnataka, which is part of National Highway-75.
