Currently, motorists use the newly opened 68-kilometre section of the expressway in Karnataka, which stretches from Hoskote to Bethamangala (KGF). The remainder of the expressway in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu is still under construction, leading to a lack of end-to-end access.

NHAI officials said the proposed link will enhance traffic flow, enable toll collection, and stimulate economic and employment opportunities in surrounding areas. Motorists currently rely on village and district roads after exiting at Bethamangala.

Plans are being considered to upgrade local roads by connecting them to NH 75 from Sundarapalya to Mulbagal, offering broader accessibility and strengthening the transport network.

Traffic on the completed stretch has already reached 1,800 to 2,000 vehicles daily, and numbers are expected to rise with improved access and connectivity.
