Good news for the people of Hubballi Dharwad! The much-awaited Widening of the Hubballi Dharwad bypass has finally started showing some actual progress on the ground.
As of now, the flattening of land has started for the widening of the bypass. The widening of Hubballi Dharwad bypass is one of the most anticipated projects for the people of the twin cities.
Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Shri Nitin Gadkari had laid the foundation stone for the much-awaited Widening of the Hubballi Dharwad bypass on February 28th, 2022.
National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) had called a tender for the Widening of the existing 2-lane (31.6 km) Hubballi Dharwad bypass to 6 lanes on 8th January 2022.
The project will be executed under EPC mode and is likely to be completed within 2.5 years. The estimated cost of construction will be ₹1200 Crores. More details on the project can be found here.
The project will include the following facilities: Street lighting, Tree plantations, Bus bays and Shelters, Traffic and Medical aid post, Vehicle rescue post, and Highway patrol units.
All toll plazas across the existing 2-lane HD bypass will be removed, and only one Toll plaza will be constructed. And another thing to note is that travelers between Hubballi and Dharwad will be exempted from paying the toll.
Recently, Union Minister and Dharwad MP Pralhad Joshi had informed the same through his social media account. The 2 laned bypass will be widened to 6 lanes.
The Hubballi Dharwad bypass has attained the name of Deadly bypass. The 30+km stretch experiences heavy traffic, Most of the accidents have happened while overtaking.
Good to see!

One of the most important requirment of Northern Karnataka is a BIG MULTI SPORTS FACILITY STADIUM.
MP Shri Prahlad Joshi and CM Shri Basawaraj Bommai sir please please pay attention.
It would be a boon to the people of twin Cities if the project is completed within December 2023 as it will also help in the expansion of the twin Cities along the bypass on either sides since the service roads allow free travel along the by pass
First stop the toll collection for this 2 lane. Which is unjustified. When work in progress no need to charge
