**Headline: Kalladka Flyover Partially Opens, Easing Traffic on Mangaluru-Bengaluru Highway**

**Mangaluru, June 2, 2025** – After four years of traffic woes, commuters traveling between Bengaluru and Mangaluru are getting some relief. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has partially opened one carriageway of the Kalladka flyover, allowing traffic from Mani (Bengaluru) towards B. C. Road (Mangaluru) on National Highway 75.

The 2.1 km flyover is a key part of the ongoing four-lane project on the Mangaluru-Bengaluru highway between B. C. Road and Adda Hole. Dakshina Kannada MP Captain Brijesh Chowta said that over 85% of the B.C. Road to Periyashanthi and 95% of the Periyashanthi-Adda Hole stretches are complete. He had urged the NHAI to open the flyover ahead of the monsoon season. The NHAI will now focus on completing the service road beneath the flyover.

The partial opening was celebrated by local leaders and representatives from KNR Constructions, the project’s contractor. Sri Rama Vidya Kendra founder Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat thanked Prime Minister Modi and Union Road Transport Minister Gadkari for the construction of the flyover. The project aims to significantly improve connectivity and reduce travel time on this vital route. The NHAI is also working to address waterlogging issues at Thumbay with a new pipe culvert.
