Government of Karnataka has recently approved the proposal to build a 10-lane, 117-km long Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway, which will be one of the longest expressways in India. This project is expected to reduce travel time between Bengaluru and Mysuru by almost half, from 3.5 hours to just 90 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway project will be executed by the Karnataka Road Development Corporation Limited (KRDCL) with an estimated cost of INR 7,000 crore. This project will have three main components: the construction of a 10-lane expressway, a 6.5-km long elevated corridor, and a 13.9-km long tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project is expected to boost economic growth in the region by improving connectivity, reducing transportation costs, and increasing trade and tourism. The project will also provide employment opportunities to thousands of people during the construction phase and will help to ease traffic congestion on the existing Bengaluru-Mysuru highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project will be implemented in three phases. The first phase involves the construction of a 9.8-km elevated corridor and a 13.9-km long tunnel, while the second phase will involve the construction of the remaining elevated corridor and the 10-lane expressway. The third phase will involve the construction of a 4-km long link road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway project is expected to be completed by 2024, and once completed, it will become a major infrastructure project in Karnataka.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\" id=\"Bengaluru-Mysuru-expressway\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Bengaluru-Mysuru-expressway-5-1024x689.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1861\" width=\"685\" height=\"461\" title=\"Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway\" srcset=\"https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Bengaluru-Mysuru-expressway-5-1024x689.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Bengaluru-Mysuru-expressway-5-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Bengaluru-Mysuru-expressway-5-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Bengaluru-Mysuru-expressway-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_this_News_is_Important\"><\/span>Why this News is Important:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Improved connectivity is an essential factor for economic growth and development.
