It was again during the fag end of his tenure as MP that NH-209 (connecting Dindigul in Tamil Nadu from Bengaluru via Kanakapura-Malavalli-Kollegal and Chamarajanagar) was converted from a two-lane road to four-lane Highway.
It is also a second route for the Bengaluru-Mysuru Highway (till Malavalli) and for those going to Kozhikode in Kerala (till Chamarajanagar).
