Need flyover in lieu of underpass between KPT and Nanthoor junctions in Mangaluru

The Hindu  

The National Environment Care Federation urged Dakshina Kannada Member of Parliament Captain Brijesh Chowta to get a flyover constructed in lieu of an underpass through Nanthoor-Kuntikana junctions on National Highway 66 in Mangaluru. Chowta, NCEF Secretary H. Shashidhar Shetty said the Kochi-Panvel NH 66 stretch between Pumpwell and Kuntikana via Nanthoor and KPT junctions faces severe limitations as regards to land availability for the underpass along with service roads. The geographical and topographical constraints, Mr. Shetty said, make road widening impractical while the presence of commercial complexes and residential apartments along the stretch increases the risk of accidents. This will enable diversion of traffic to and from Kundapura and Udupi, thereby reducing traffic congestion near Mangaluru city, Mr. Shetty said.
