Mysuru–Kushalnagar Highway Project Progresses After Delays
The new highway is being built to make it easier and faster to travel between Mysuru and Kushalnagar.
The project has faced some delays due to issues with buying land, but now it's making progress.
Two sections of the highway are under construction.
Once finished, the highway will make the trip quicker and safer, particularly for those traveling to and from Madikeri, Mangaluru, and parts of Kerala.
Commuters are very happy to see this project moving forward, as the old road is often busy and dangerous.
