Repair Marakada-Maravoor bridge road connecting airport, says MP Chowta

Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada MP Capt Brijesh Chowta wrote to urban development minister Byrathi Suresh, urging immediate action to prioritise the widening and development of the road between Marakada and Maravoor bridge, which connects Mangalore city to the Mangaluru International Airport (MIA). The main road from Mangaluru city to the airport was already developed into a four-lane road up to Marakada. However, beyond that, the road between Marakada and Maravoor bridge is very narrow, causing significant obstacles to smooth and safe vehicular movement. Additionally, the poor quality of the road is leading to traffic congestion. Since this is a major road for airport travel, passengers are facing various issues due to delays. Therefore, the MP requested urgent action to convert the narrow and deteriorated road between Marakada and Maravoor bridge into a four-lane road to alleviate the difficulties faced by airport passengers and local residents. Once this road is developed, the entire stretch up to MIA will be a four-lane road, reducing travel time from the city to the airport. Further, with the onset of the rainy season, potholes have developed on this road, making travel difficult.

"The urban development department should prioritise the construction and concreting of four lanes in this specific area. This is essential not only for reducing traffic congestion but also for supporting economic potential of Mangaluru and its surrounding areas as a commercial hub. Hence, the minister should promptly direct the relevant authorities to initiate both short-term maintenance and long-term development of this crucial road section in Mangaluru," he urged.
