The Longest Six-Lane Flyover of 3km Likely to be Constructed From Kuloor to Baikampady in Mangalore:
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is preparing plans to construct a six-lane flyover of 3km from Kuloor to Baikampady in Mangalore city. The district administration has taken initiative to complete initial procedures. If it becomes a reality, this will be the longest flyover in the city limits.
The central government has approved a proposal to construct a flyover on the stretch to decongest traffic on the NH-66 stretch. The Union ministry of road transport and highways has directed the NHAI to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for the flyover. Deputy commissioner Mulllai Muhilan MP has directed officials to facilitate preparation of a DPR by the NHAI for the project.
They pointed out that the traffic woes have been affecting not only the industrial activities, but also the smooth movement of passenger vehicles. The DC said that the proposal of building a flyover between two major points in the city will ensure easy flow of traffic on the highway. The DC also directed officials to vacate all encroachments in industrial areas.
