"As 18 days are necessary for curing of concrete works, the remaining light commercial vehicles (LCVs) will be permitted from June 1. Till then, such vehicles will take a detour via Thirthahalli – Masthikatte – Hosangady – Siddapura - Udupi and Thirthahalli – Koppa – Sringeri – Malaghat – Karkala – Udupi," stated DC Hephsiba Rani Korlapati in a press release.

There were landslides in some places on Agumbe Ghats during last monsoons affecting vehicular traffic. Besides, Agumbe Ghat roads were upgraded as national highway.

Therefore, concreting of the Ghat stretch was taken up during the last few months. Traffic was banned and alternative routes were arranged for vehicles.

Now that work is completed, light vehicles are allowed on the road. Permission for use of all the vehicles will be allowed in phases.

    Are you serious?? Look at that photo of the hair-pin bend. It is not going to last 3 months. There is no proper foundation, nothing at the side to stop the land from sinking. The tar surface is already cracked. This is fraud & daylight robbery.
