The project that was initially proposed to widen the road to six lanes at ₹980 crore, has been delayed since September 2022 due to road alignment and tender issues.
MORTH has approved the revised proposal at a cost of ₹1,338 crore.
This four-lane access-controlled road will serve as an alternative route to Bengaluru via Chittoor, enhancing connectivity and facilitating faster movement of goods from BHEL, Ranipet SIPCOT and local industries, to the city.
The 180-km stretch of the Chittoor-Bengaluru NH has already been expanded to four lanes.
