Mangaluru, Nov 28: Even as environmentalists have continued raised voice against controversial Shishila-Byrapura Road, the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has proposed a four-lane inter-corridor route connecting Mangaluru to Golden Quadrilateral Network through same route under the Bharat Mala project.

The Golden Quadrilateral is a highway network connecting many of the major industrial, agricultural and cultural centres of India including Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi and Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar, Jaipur, Kanpur, Pune, Surat, Nellore, Vijayawada, Bhilwara, Ajmer, and Vishakapatnam.

The proposed four-lane road will connect Mangaluru to National Highway 4 (part of Golden Quadrilateral) at Chitradurga via Bantwal, Shishila, Byrapura, Mudigere, Kadur and Holalkere.

At present, freight movement has to take NH 75 via Shiradi Ghat. According to LEA Associates South Asia Pvt Ltd, an agency which conducted a study for the NHAI, the distance for freight movement will be reduced by 196 km on the new route. The private agency made a presentation in the presence of senior officers in Chikkamagaluru recently.

The existing road connecting Mudigere to Bantwal Crossing (NH 75) via Charmadi Ghat is about 94 km. The proposed Shishila-Byrapura route reduces the distance between Mudigere Hand Post to proposed junction on NH 75 to 65 kms.

The NHAI has proposed this alternative citing that widening the road via Charmadi Ghat would be uneconomical considering the terrain and settlement along the route. The authority says that the proposed road would also boost the export of plantation products such as coffee, cardamom and pepper.
