Thread by @TowardsLiberti on #FACTCHECKING claims on #BangaloreMysoreExpressway .... I travelled on this last week & took 2.5 hours
but what shocked me was the COST of construction/100mtrs . considering that its only 40% GREENFIELD (its 60% BROWNFIELD)
FYI: No STREET LIGHTS yet

consider 2 points when accessing COSTS/km
(1) Unlike Mum-Pune highway (personal view, better road) with significant "Ghats"/MOUNTAIN Terrain, BLR-MYSR is almost FLAT terrain. MOUNTAIN Terrain costs substantially more.
(2) 60% was Brownfield (upgrade) & 40% greenfield.
