CULTURAL QA 09-2022-05 BEING ACOMPILATION THERE MAY BE ERRORS
Q1 How doesthe 10-lane Bangalore-Mysore Expressway reduce travel time by half? A1 SakkathBengaluru Answered by Vibhakar T Fri Bengaluru-Mysuru road was always one of the busiest roads inthe state. In 2000s,there used to be 4 lanes for travelling between the two cities. Backthen, it was enough to accommodate all the vehicles. But lately, the traffic has only got heavier. More vehiclestravel through the route, which demands for a wide highway. And hence, theproposal for 10-lane of the highway came up. The route betweenBengaluru and Mysuru is such that there are a lot of economic and culturalclusters in betweenthe two cities for about every 20–30 kilometres. Bidadi - Being close to Bengaluru, it has a lot of travellerstowards the city. Ramanagara - A district headquarter. Channapatna - Known for toys production. Maddur - Famous for its Maddur vada, a food/snack item. Mandya - A district headquarter. Srirangapatna - A historical town with a lot of temples andother tourist attractive places. In the earlier 4 lane highway, there were nobypasses. Hence, a distance of about 130–140kms used to take more than 4 hoursof travel time. Now the new highway would be of 10 lanes. It not justprovides extra lanes for the vehicles, but also consists of bypasses over all the above mentionedclusters. If we consider Kengeri to Mysuru as the route, only then thetravel time would be nearly halved. Before the construction of the highway, it used to take about3 hours from Kengeri to Mysuru. Sometimes, even more. With the new highway, bydriving at a speed of around around 70-80kmph, the travel time between Mysuruand Kengeri can nearly get halved.
