Chennai-Bengaluru Expressway Completion Delayed to 2028 Due to Kanchipuram-Arakkonam Stretch
The Chennai-Bengaluru Expressway, designed to reduce travel time between the cities to three hours, faces a delay with completion now expected by 2028 instead of 2026. The delay stems mainly from the unfinished 25-km Kanchipuram-Arakkonam stretch in Tamil Nadu, where only 53% is complete. The National Highways Authority of India has issued fresh tenders for this section, allowing 18 months for completion. Other sections in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu are mostly complete or operational.
