As a part of the strengthening project, work including the construction of 2 bridges at Pattaraiputhur has been completed and at Narayanapuram few more days of work is still there.
By the month of August, the project work is likely to start and it would be over in another 24 months.

Fact is that 3 months would be required to mobilize men and machineries etc. Information gathered is that only in 2026, widening of 2- lane Chennai- Tirupati highway would be carried out. The reason for that was the present road would get saturated only in 2026.

He spoke about how NHAI must not wait for the traffic volume to increase. Point to be noted is that the road is an important link between the 2 temple towns of Tirupati and Tiruvallur.
