The central government has approved ₹941.61 crore to transform the Jewargi-Sankeshwar highway, which passes through the taluk from Chikkodi town to Gotur in Hukkeri taluk, into a four-lane highway spanning 27 kilometers, according to MP Annasaheb Jolle.
MP Annasaheb Jolle stated that Union Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari was approached to construct the Chikkodi-Gotur highway, a part of National Highway 548, in the outer zone of Chikkodi town, which includes a bypass road.
This development will greatly benefit the economic activities of North Karnataka by connecting National Highway 548, which links Chennai and Mumbai.
