Infrastructure Logistics - Roadways States - Karnataka Karnataka redefines expressway project as special State highway
Our Bureau Bangalore, Aug. 6 In a bid to expedite the land acquisition process for the six-lane expressway project to connect the new Banglaore International Airport at Devanahalli, the Government has redefined the project as a Special State Highway. The reclassification done through a gazette notification issued by the Public Works Department, has declared the expressway as a special highway under the provisions of the Karnataka Highways Act, 1964. The change will quicken the process of land acquisition and award compensation faster. The gazette said that the 22.10-km-long special State highway would begin from land in Banaswadi village, Bangalore East taluk and would pass through Banaswadi, Chalkere, Horamavu, Agara, Kylasanahalli, Bairathi Kani, Bairathi, Dodda Gubbi, Chikka Gubbi, Chalatti, Bagalur, Hovinayakanahalli, Bandikodigehallui, Begur and Yaratigenahalli, Akalenahalli and Mallenahalli villages in Devanahalli taluk. No change
The reclassification would not change the features of the road plan. The special State highway will retain the same alignment of the expressway with all its features incorporated and it would also be a tolled road, an official said. “Twenty-four companies have evinced interest in the first round of bidding, and we will soon issue them bid documents, which would enable them to participate in the final bidding.” The Bangalore International Airport, fast progressing towards completion, is expected to be ready for airline traffic by April.
