The 72-Km Chitradurga-Davangere section of a new six-lane highway in Karnataka is expected to boost connectivity and minimise travel time between Mumbai and Bengaluru. This could become a lifeline linking the financial capital to the
Tech hub. This new route will be time-saving, fuel-efficient, and eco-friendly travel. In order to reduce future maintenance costs, the NHAI aims to employ sustainable techniques and materials like plastic in bituminous concrete and milling material in service roads.
