The three stretches are nearing completion of white-topping, or concrete road construction, along with the relocation of underground utilities. The work is intended to improve traffic movement during the festival period, when Mysuru typically receives a significant increase in visitors and vehicles.
Concretization began in April 2026 under Phase 1 of the project, and final work is now being completed before the roads are opened to the public. Drainage conduits, water pipelines, power cables and telecom networks were shifted to side corridors before the road surfaces were laid, a measure intended to reduce the need for future road cutting.
The Mysuru district administration has also ordered a temporary suspension of white-topping work on the remaining nine major city corridors from early October until October 21, 2026. The pause is intended to prevent work-related bottlenecks during the high-density holiday period and keep key routes available for festival traffic.
The broader project covers the concretization of 46.088 km of important city roads at an estimated cost of Rs. 3.94 bn. It is planned to provide a 20-year pothole-free lifespan, improve visibility for drivers and lower long-term maintenance costs. The reopening of the three stretches ahead of Dasara is expected to provide additional capacity on the city’s arterial network during the celebrations.
