Bengaluru: The ambitious and long-pending eight-lane conversion of Mysuru-Bengaluru Highway will begin by January-end following an assurance of speedy clearance to the project by the Centre. The project will be taken up in two packages at a cost of Rs.4,149 crore, said Public Works Minister Dr. H.C. Mahadevappa.
Addressing press persons in Bengaluru yesterday, the Minister said that the Centre had given its nod for the project and it would be soon placed before the Union Cabinet. The project will be taken through a Hybrid Annuity Model, a new concept introduced by the Government to take up infrastructure projects.
