09 Aug 2022 CW Team

When the Bengaluru-Chennai expressway is ready for commuter use, the journey time will be cut in half to 2 hours. Here are some project specifics.

Things to know about this project:
This Expressway is expected to cost roughly 10.8 billion.

This project covers a total distance of 258 kilometres.

The states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu would be traversed by the expressway.

On the journey, it will pass through the towns of Malur, Bangarpet, Kolar Gold Fields (KGF), Palamaner, Chittoor, and Ranipet after starting in Hoskote on the outskirts of Bengaluru.

In Tamil Nadu's Kanchipuram district, in Sriperumbudur, the expressway will come to an end.

The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has broken down the building of this project into three stages.

The route is allegedly equipped with more advanced and contemporary traffic devices.

According to reports, six private companies are building south India's most anticipated expressway.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the expressway's foundation stone in May 2022.

The expressway is a double-decker elevated road with four lanes.

The proposed expressway is anticipated to reduce the present five to six-hour average journey time between Chennai and Bengaluru to just two to three hours. In addition to this project, work is also being done on the 117-kilometre Bengaluru-Mysuru highway, which should be finished by October of this year.
