The Chief Minister further stated that attempts are underway to achieve two more Guinness World Records on this corridor by January 11, 2026, on Packages 2 and 3 of the project in Andhra Pradesh.

The Bengaluru-Kadapa-Vijayawada greenfield national highway project has recently gathered pace and is expected to significantly improve connectivity between Andhra Pradesh and Bengaluru. Once completed, the six-lane, access-controlled expressway will reduce travel time between Amaravati and Bengaluru from the current 11-12 hours to nearly six hours.

Taken up under Bharatmala Phase-II, the corridor includes both greenfield and brownfield stretches, designed to bypass congested towns and existing highways to allow faster and uninterrupted movement of passengers and freight.
