i dont know how true this is.. but came to know that from october , the shiradi ghat section will be closed for traffic(i dont know for how long) this is the infamous stretch which is everyones nightmare(sakleshpur mangalore route)

i think the blame should go for those overloaded mining trucks which are causing this road damage.

hoping to see the railroad functional for commuters very soon..

GOing to mangalore via madikeri is longer and also roads are not that great after Madikeri...as all know shiradi is in a bad shape but managable.

I don't think the'll close it. Probably they may just renovate the route.

I think they will have to close the route to fix it properly. With the presnt traffic condition definately it wont be possible.

Ya if they close that route they have make the Madikeri - Mangalore route motorable...NH48 is the major industrial route & connectivity with the capital bangalore, you cannot just shut it down...
If Madikeri - mangalore is done up fast, then it can be possible to shut it down and make it a dream highway...

Whoever said work on shiradi has started,take back your words as it was only a temporary fix with sand & stone powder during the time when rain gods took a break..It was a pretty decent drive to Puttur(85km in1hr 45 mins)on the morning of 6th,but it rained thro the day & the fix was gone .Returned the same evening(85km in 3hrs)

I was googling to find info on road conditions b/w BLR - MLR
Am travelling on Saturday by Car. I guess that Shiradi Ghat is closed and the available options are Charmadi Ghat OR Agumbe/Balebare Via shimoga
OR Through Madikeri.
Which road shall i choose?
If any member travelled recently or has heard from his/her friends about the experiecnes please let me know.

Is NH48 at Shiradi Ghat open?

lohithrao · 13th November 2007, 11:43

Yes SHiradi is open for the samll vehicles, but since the state of the road is so bad. you hardly find any vehicles

balechaparka · 13th November 2007, 13:08

Last week I did the trip to Karkala ,this route is bit far but road is good.
Hasan=>Belur=>Chikmagaloor=>Bale=>Vastara=>Aldur=> Balehonnor=>Jayapur=>Sringeri=>
Kerekatte=>Karkala.

We wanted to go to Sringeri so took this road .

Did Bangalore - Srirangapatna - Madikeri - Mangalore last weekend. From Bangalore to Kushalnagar is good. After that, it is very bad till Mangalore.
Shiradi ghat section is closed temporarily and they do allow small vehicles once a while. There're huge traffic blocks on Charmadi route. This leaves Madikeri route the only viable option. Huh! They don't have any passenger trains running in between Bangalore and Mangalore.
