Devanahalli: Construction work for the international airport here is going on in full swing. The Larsen and Tubro Co has been erecting the compound wall around the acquired land, while other companies associated with the project are geared up take up other tasks.

As the compound wall is coming up on a 25 km diameter, the road near Anneshwar will closed shortly and the new road, already laid between Anneshwar and airport will be thrown open to public.

Out of the acquired land of 4,300 acres, airport, runway and airt terminal will be constructed on 2000 acres, while the remaining land will be utilised for building air cargo station, hardware park, hotel and other installations for which the contracts are likely to be awarded soon. In the airport, each of the two runways will have 4 km length and 45 metre width.

The built up area of the airport terminal building will be 46,000 square ft, with 35 entry counters and 7 passengers entrances. The airport will have an 18-plane parking slot.
