And when the demand came for upgrading the road into a six-lane stretch, more land was needed to make the road a six-lane.Experts from CEPT University of Ahmedabad prepared a plan for the BRTS between City Bus Terminus (CBT) in Hubli and CBT Dharwad covering a distance of around 22.2km. The plan envisaged that the RTS track would have 39 stops, three underpasses, three subways for pedestrians and an overbridge.

@Joydeep ,after this delay happened involved in finishing the preliminary work, the authorities had decided to go ahead first with the four-lane project.

@Joydeep : Yes and the demand for converting the 22 km between Dharwad and Hubli into a four-lane stretch to ease traffic congestion and to improve connectivity was long pending. The BJP government finally went into action on 2011. I think around thirty acres of land was acquired for widening of the road...

Hey guys he government had already sanctioned Rs 177 crore for converting the 10.5 km stretch between Alur Venkatrao Circle in Dharwad & Hosur Cross in Hubli into a four-lane concrete road. The 13.5 km stretch between Vidyagiri to Unkal Cross was to be 55m wide while from Vidyagiri to Alur Venkatrao Circle and Unkal Ccross to Hosur Cross the width was to be 35m.

I think many people have already complained as the people residing on either side of the road were facing trouble as the works have been stopped, so the Incomplete work has created pollution and dust.

Hi heard that Hubli-Dharwad should have had the Bus Rapid Transit System by the end of 2014. But I think the pace of work suddenly slowed down causing inconvenience to the people travelling between Dharwad and Hubli...Do you guys have any comment on this ?
