Re: Bangalore Vijayawada Expressway: Construction Updates

Here is the location where the expressway originates from the NH44 (Bangalore Hyd Highway). You go slight ahead after the Puttaparthy exit at Bagepalli. You will the trumpet exchange coming up.

Google shows an additional road in the picture as shown:

Re: Bangalore Vijayawada Expressway: Construction Updates

The vlog channel just read my mind! They just updated exactly what I was referring to the previous post yesterday.





So definitely the greenfield section is coming along with good progress. Like I had mentioned earlier I can see earth work pretty much going on at all sections from the starting point all the way to Addanki. Add to it the expansion from Addanki to Vijaywada via Chillakaluripet/Guntur. Lot of brownfield expansion of the NH16. And last but not least the additional western bypass at Vijayawada and the new bridge on Krishna!

Re: Bangalore Vijayawada Expressway: Construction Updates

Lots of progress coming along on this expressway. One of the silently coming along expressways. I can already see the earthwork end to end. Addanki interchange on N16 also should slowly come up.

Would be interesting to see how they cut through the Cumbum range east of Mydukur.

Also north of Mydkur on the bypass there has to be a clover leaf on NH40 or later to be called the Surat-Chennai Expressway. Also Mydukur will see the expressway cutting through the famed NH67. Not sure how the interface is planned. I assume it has to be a common solution.

Re: Bangalore Vijayawada Expressway: Construction Updates

Took some time to compile this. This is what I was referring to earlier.
