Smooth drive on Bangalore-Chennai Expressway: Updates, Exits & Future

Drive from Hoskote to Venkatagiri Kota/Bethmangala exit is super smooth. Road conditions are great, but in current state everyone need to be careful as many two wheelers and cars do drive in wrong side.

BHPian ravib recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Myself and BHP-ian NPV did a Sunday morning breakfast drive in BCE all the way till Venkatagiri Kota/Bethmangala exit.

From Bangalore - Hoskote to Kolar direction traffic, we can now normally take the free left clover leaf to enter BCE. No need for any workarounds or opposite side U-turns etc. Simple and straightforward without any confusion. However, the Kolar to Hoskote-Bangalore direction free left is not possible as the road is not tarred and cars cannot enter.

Drive from Hoskote to Venkatagiri Kota/Bethmangala exit is super smooth. Road conditions are great, but in current state everyone need to be careful as many two wheelers and cars do drive in wrong side. We also saw few trucks now itself. There aren't many vehicles in opposite direction towards Bangalore side though. We then took the Sunrapalya/Bethmangala/Avani road to reach back NH4/NH75 in Old Madras Road.

Malur, KGF and Venkatagiri Kota/Bethamangala are major exits at this point. No tolls are operational and only one left most lane is opened for cars to pass through. It seems they finished the road all the way till Baidreddipalle and the road is blocked. If they complete one more section for about another ~40 kms more till Palamaner exit, that will help a lot so that all Tirupati and Chennai bound traffic can start taking expressway , sooner than end of this year hopefully! Fingers crossed.

That will help to cruise in much faster and greater average speed to reach Palamaner exit. We can completely avoid Narasipura, Kolar, Mulbagal, Nangli traffic and on-going bridge constructions.

Let's see....
