Vijayawada Bengaluru Expressway Works Progress Rapidly via Ntr District

The construction of the six-lane Vijayawada-Bengaluru Greenfield Expressway is progressing at a rapid pace. Being built under the Bharatmala Pariyojana at an estimated cost of Rs 19,200 crore, the highway connects Vijayawada through Ntr district. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu has instructed officials to complete this project by 2027.

Once operational, this expressway will significantly reduce the travel time between Vijayawada and Bengaluru from 12 hours to just 6 hours. The project is expected to boost freight transport and accelerate industrial development across the region. The route passes through several key places, including Ntr district.

Currently, earthworks, bridges, culverts, and tar road construction works are underway. Major infrastructure companies like Megha Engineering, KNR Constructions, and Dilip Buildcon are executing the construction packages.

The expressway is part of the central government's initiative to enhance connectivity between key economic corridors and industrial hubs across states.
