Mangaluru: The old national highway stretch between Pumpwell and Padilon the city’s outskirtswill soon get a makeoverwith the government sanctioning Rs 26 crore.
Once part of the Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH-75, the Pumpwell-Padil stretch was denotified by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), after a new four-lane highway connecting to the city was opened via Nanthoor to Padil. The 2.8 km road will be developed into a 24m-wide four-lane stretch under the Mangaluru Smart City project,
Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel initiated the road development work, by performing Bhoomi Puja on Sunday. He said that the road is a prominent stretch, as it will be the main approach road to the new DC’s office complex, which is under construction at Padil, Mangaluru Junction Railway Station and a new bus stand proposed at Pumpwell. Hence, the project has been taken up under the Smart City Mission on priority, he said.
On the development of the Mangaluru-Bengaluru National Highway stretch between BC Road and Addahole, the MP said that the work is expected to be completed by December 2023. The proposed flyover on the national highway at KPT Junction, and another at Nathoor in the city , will also be taken up soon. “The proposal of the construction of a road under the bridge at Mahakalipadpu railway gate in the city, is in the tender stage. The city will witness a sea of development through the construction of a sports complex of international standards at Urwa, international swimming pool and the proposed waterfront project,” Kateel said.
On various Smart City projects, the MP said that though there was a delay in the first two years, works are being expedited at present. The opposition members in the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) are also extending their cooperation. Very soon, Mangaluru will be the next beautiful and clean city in Karnataka after Mysuru, he said.
Mangaluru City South MLA D Vedavyas Kamath said various projects worth Rs 2,000 crore are sanctioned for his constituency. We have already commenced projects worth Rs 500 crore, and all remaining projects will be completed by 2024-25, he said.
Mayor Premanand Shetty also asserted that all Smart City projects will be completed within two years.
