![]() I guess most of the pot-holed sections of the highway have been relaid. In some sections the cat-eyes have been replaced too. While some sections are still bumpy, it's still a whole lot better than what it was before. Toll is the same as before, but I'd happily pay the same toll (~Rs.1.2/Km) as the sections from Attibele to Chennasamudram if only the quality of the highway was also the same. | ||

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I too travelled on this section yesterday. While there are no potholes the roads definitely are not great to warrant a toll. They are many patches and your ride becomes bumpy due to many patches on the road. |

| ![]() I travelled last week from Bangalore to chennai and vice cersa. Was staying at Fishermans cove. there is a deviation from Sriperumbudur which lets you reach ECR in 40 minutes. Avoided the city completely. The road mentioned has a toll of RS24. Found this road on google maps. Also the NH is bumpy as stated but speeds of 120-140 is achievable, I was driving my Camry Hybrid |

What is the approx amount of toll on either routes? and does the chittor route eventually lead me to join the poonamalle high road from where I can eventually reach the Anna Statue on Mount Road? Hoping for your advice and thanks in advance. | |

| ![]() It will be about 350/- via krishnagiri and 130/- via chittor . Most of the Tollbooths near kolar were not collecting tolls till Dec. Both the routes will meet 90 kms before Chennai, near Walajapet and is same afterwards. |

| ![]() I too live in Malleswaram. The approximate toll via Chittoor would be around INR 160 and on the Hosur route would be around INR 500. I do BLR-MAA-BLR at least once a month. Cheers |

Toll amount on chittoor route should be about 140, I guess I posted the details somewhere else probably on this thread earlier. Needless to say for a peaceful drive, start early if you can. | |

| ![]() Does anyone have an idea about the Tiruvallur-Thiruthanni-Chittoor road condition? For my return trip from Chennai to Bangalore, I wish to try this route. |

Tiruvallur-Tiruttani is in excellent condition. But please note that the roads inside Tiruvallur town are not good. Between Tiruttani to Chittoor, though i have not driven in direct route via Valakanampudi-Bukkapatnam, i have driven via Tirttuani-Nagari-Pallipattu-Chittoor. They roads are in excellent/Very good condition. This route is about 15 kms longer. Sorry i don't have update on direct route, but hope the alternate route info helps just in case. -Ravi Last edited by ravib : 30th March 2015 at 12:04. | |
