T.N. stretch of Bengaluru-Chennai Expressway may be completed by August 2025
While the 24.50-km package from Walajapet to Arakkonam has the most progress, with over 84% of the work being carried out, the Arakkonam to Kancheepuram package has the least progress with about 52%
Around 65% of the work to construct the four-lane, access-controlled greenfield Bengaluru-Chennai Expressway (BCE) has been completed in Tamil Nadu, where it runs for a total of 105.7 km through districts including Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Vellore, and Ranipet.

The expressway starts at Sriperumbudur and ends at Gudipala in Andhra Pradesh from where it will reach Bengaluru. The work inside the State are expected to be completed by August 2025 and will help cut down travel time and distance between Chennai and Bengaluru considerably, according to sources in the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
