NHAI to widen highway from Mlore-Karkala

18 Nov 2013 CW Staff

The National Highway 169 between Mangalore and Karkala via Moodbidri will be widened by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). NHAI has proposed to widen the stretch between Mangalore (from Kulashekara) and Moodbidri into a four-lane road and the stretch between Moodbidri and Karkala as two-lane road, say media reports. The final feasibility report is now before the NHAI for its approval. A 50-km stretch between Mangalore and Karkala is part of the NH 169 connecting Solapur in Maharasthra and Mangalore. It has been proposed to widen a 20 km stretch between Moodbidri and Karkala into a two-lane road, considering that the traffic here is less than what one could witness between Mangalore and Moodbidri. A bypass road at Gurupur and Moodbidri has also been planned under engineering procurement construction (EPC) mode of contract (under this mode of contract the government spends the entire money required to build a road).
