Cruising through the nearly complete four-lane Mangaluru-Bengaluru National Highway 75 between B.C. Road and Adda Hole in Dakshina Kannada district, one will have to apply sudden brakes after encountering a strictly two lane old NH 75 that is riddled with foot-deep craters.

The about 200 m stretch, located between Periyashanthi and Udane in Kadaba taluk, would make drivers of even large-wheeled trucks to drive below 5 kmph to negotiate the craters. Cars and other small vehicles are bound to get their belly rubbed against the dilapidated road surface while attempting to manoeuvrer the craters.
