Bangalore :The conversion of Bangalore-Mysore road to a six lane national highway is likely to begin in 2015, said Public Works minister H C Mahadevappa.

“The agency has been appointed for upgrading the road to a national highway. It will have to first submit the DPR?to the government. Once we receive that, we will examine the feasibility of the project and send it to the NHAI?for approval,” Mahadevappa said on the sidelines of an interaction with the Federation of Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI) here.

“After the report is submitted, it will take six months for work to start.” A road network of 1,668 km in the State, including the Bangalore-Mysore road, had been declared national highway since March 4, he added.

At a recent meeting with top police officers of Bangalore and Mysore, and the local leaders, the need to stop the indiscriminate laying of speed-breakers was discussed, he said.
