NHAI officials have stated that the Chennai-Bengaluru expressway project is on track for completion by October, aiming to drastically reduce travel time.
The construction of the new expressway connecting Chennai and Bengaluru is set to be completed by October, according to National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) officials. Once operational, the travel time between the two cities is expected to reduce from 6-7 hours to just 3 hours.
The project is valued at Rs 17,700 crore, with Rs 7,650 crore allocated for the 94-km stretch in Tamil Nadu. So far, 230 km of work has been completed. The remaining work, which faced minor delays due to land acquisition challenges and financial constraints, is now being expedited.
