The Bengaluru–Kadapa–Vijayawada Economic Corridor is a transformative 518 km expressway under construction, connecting Bengaluru, Karnataka, and Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh. This corridor aims to significantly reduce the travel distance between the two cities from 635 km to 535 km and cut travel time from 12 hours to around 8 hours. This improvement is crucial for commuters, businesses, and the agricultural sector in the historically under-connected Rayalaseema region. On January 6, 2026, the project achieved two Guinness World Records: the longest continuous laying of bituminous concrete over a 9.63 km stretch in just 24 hours and the highest quantity of bituminous concrete laid continuously at 10,655 metric tonnes. This unprecedented feat was accomplished by a dedicated team of over 600 engineers and workers, utilizing advanced machinery and strict quality monitoring to ensure safety and durability standards were met.
