The Bengaluru to Mangaluru side of the 2.1-kilometre Kalladka flyover on National Highway 75 will be opened to traffic from June two, according to Dakshina Kannada Member of Parliament Captain Brijesh Chowta. Two-lane vehicular underpasses at Mani and Uppinangady were opened from May 29.

Owing to early monsoon arrival in Dakshina Kannada, the National Highways Authority of India has expedited traffic access through critical sections of NH-75. To address waterlogging near Thumbe, a pipe culvert is under construction.

So far, 14.4 kilometres (95.17 per cent) of the 15.13-kilometre four-lane stretch from Addahole to Periyashanthi is complete. Additionally, 41.52 kilometres (85.63 per cent) of the 48.48-kilometre Periyashanthi to B.C. Road section is also finished.

The project began in 2017, with initial contractor Larsen and Toubro later withdrawing. It was divided into two packages: the Addahole–Periyashanthi stretch awarded to S.M. Autade Private Limited at Rs 4 billion, and the B.C. Road–Periyashanthi stretch awarded to KNR Constructions at Rs 11 billion.

The Kalladka flyover, with around 70 spans, remains a vital part of the road expansion and will significantly ease highway congestion.
