Drive from Chennai to Tirupati to get quicker by 45 minutes from September
The New Indian Express Tirunelveli
|August 09, 2025
TRAVEL time between Chennai and Tirupati is set to come down by 30 to 45 minutes, as the four-laning of the 18-km greenfield highway between Thiruninravur and Tiruvallur is set to be completed by September.
The under-construction four-lane highway connects the Tiruvallur Bypass at Thirupachur with the Veppampattu Bypass at Thiruninravur on the Chennai-Tirupati Highway, passing through Thaneerkulam, Thozhur, and Sevvapet. As of August 1, 15 km out of the total 18 km stretch has been completed. Once the widening project is completed, the 18-km stretch will be made an access-controlled, fully fenced national highway, with service roads provided on both sides, according to officials from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
