Mangaluru, October 17: The Shiradi Ghat stretch of national highway 75 will be closed for four months for the second phase of work from December 2015.
Raghavan, Superintending engineer of National Highways Authority of India, informed this at the meeting of the district awareness committee held at Hoysala auditorium of zilla panchayat, Hassan on Friday October 16th.
First phase work of 13 km road concreting was completed recently. The crash barrier construction has also been completed. Work of building 2.4 km of protective wall and 200 metres of culverts are yet to be completed. The contractors have time till November this year to finish these jobs, he explained.
The tender processes for the second phase of work are going on, and works will be allowed to begin only after the concerned stock enough raw materials to complete over half of the road works. Although 24 months time is given as per contract rules for this work, we will ensure that the work is completed within four months. We will have to close the road, for taking up the road works, he said.
