Construction work on the widening of National Highway 169 between Mangaluru and Karkala into four-lanes has been initiated with the NHAI issuing the work order to the concessionaire with an Appointed Date for the work. Sanur-Bikarnakatte Highways will execute the project in two years at an investment of ₹1,137 crore, excluding the cost of land acquisition. The four-lane road starts from Bikarnakatte, off NH 75 in Mangaluru and ends at Sanur, about 5 km before Karkala in Udupi district. The 45-km project highway via Gurupura and Moodbidri would have a total width of 45 m, including 18-20 m of carriageway, medians, pavements and other infrastructure. Two bypasses — Gurupura (5.5 km) and Moodbidri (7 km) — are also part of the project highway. The four-laning is expected to considerably ease vehicular movement between Mangaluru and education hub Moodbidri that is already witnessing bumper-to-bumper traffic during peak hours, said an official spokesperson.
