There was a long pending demand from the people of this region to build a national highway connecting Belagavi to Raichur.
Joshi along with Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai met Gadkari on Wednesday and discussed pending road projects in Karnataka.
During the meeting, Gadkari instructed the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) officials to start widening works of the Hubballi-Dharwad bypass as the tender was already finalised, Joshi claimed.
Gadkari also agreed to build underpasses on four-lane and six-lane bypass roads near the Hubballi-Dharwad twin cities, Joshi said.
