Chikkamagaluru DC prohibits heavy vehicles on Tanikod Check post-S.K. Border. stretch of NH 169
Chikkamagaluru authorities have banned heavy vehicles weighing over 12 tonnes on a stretch of NH-169 until September 30. The decision follows reports of structural damage to minor bridges and protective walls along the route.
Why it matters
This restriction impacts regional logistics and transport, forcing heavy vehicles to use longer alternative routes during the monsoon season.
Chikkamagaluru Deputy Commissioner Bhanwar Singh Meena on Wednesday issued an order prohibiting the movement of heavy vehicles weighing more than 12 tonnes on the stretch between Tanikod checkpost and S.K. Border on National Highway-169, citing the dilapidated condition of the road, until September 30.
