PM to inaugurate 10-lane Mysuru-Bengaluru expressway on March 1, expected travel time of one and half hours

KANNUR: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the 140-km 10-lane expressway on March 1, which will make the Mysuru-Bengaluru journey faster. Travel time will be reduced from three hours to one and a half hours. This will also eliminate the hours-long traffic jams on this route.

The expressway will be a boon for commuters, including students, who travel to Bangalore from districts north of Thrissur on a daily basis. The route from Mandya in Mysuru to Kenkeri is in a straight line of 75 km.

The inauguration is ahead of the Karnataka assembly elections scheduled to be held in May.
