Agumbe Ghat Road to Undergo Major Widening

Agumbe Ghat Road to Undergo Major Widening

The Agumbe Ghat Road in Karnataka is going to be widened to make it easier for cars and trucks to travel between the coast and the hills.

Right now, the road is very narrow, especially in the curves, which causes traffic jams.

The government plans to make the road wider using a special method that doesn't harm the environment too much.

This method involves building strong pillars along the hillside and extending the road outward.

The road runs through a wildlife sanctuary, so they have to be careful not to disturb the animals, like king cobras and flying squirrels.

Once the road is widened, it will be easier for people to travel between Shivamogga and Udupi districts.
