Highway system

State Highway 88 is a state highway connecting Mysore and Bantwal in the South Indian state of Karnataka. It has a total length of 220 kilometres (140 mi).[2] It connects Mysore with the hill station of Madikeri and the port city of Mangalore.[3] The road is also used as an alternate route to connect Mysore to Northern Kerala via Hunsur, Gonikoppa and Kutta.[4] In 2010, the Karnataka Police deployed police vehicles to ensure safety on the highway.[5] The road is maintained by the Karnataka Road Development Corporation Limited.[6][7]

2013 damage[edit]

In August 2013, the district administration had closed down the road after water seepage from incessant rainfall had caused huge cracks to develop on the road.[8][9]
