NEW DELHI: Nitin Gadkari, Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Government of India, announced an allocation of Rs 343.74 crore for the expansion of the Mangaluru-Mudigere-Tumkur section of NH-73 in Karnataka.

The project will transform this section of the National Highway into a two-lane road with paved shoulders.

Negotiating challenging hilly and mountainous landscapes, particularly the Charmadi Ghat, this initiative is poised to substantially enhance connectivity in the region, the Minister added.
