Bangalore-Chennai expressway travel: A valuable tip to avoid traffic

This will avoid the entire Hosur-Krishnagiri-Ambur mess as well as the Chitoor-Ranipet mess.

BHPian ampere recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Another way I realized the KA part of the Bangalore-Chennai expressway can be used (if that opens early).

Drive till Sundarapalaya exit on the expressway. This is 10 km before V Kota. Drive to V Kota and there on to Gudiyatam. From here one can get on the Vellore 6-lane at Pallikonda and continue. This will avoid the entire Hosur-Krishnagiri-Ambur mess as well as the Chitoor-Ranipet mess.

This also is a great way for people to drive to Katpadi (and academic places like VIT). They just have to go past Gudiyatam and enter Katpadi. Gudiyatam is getting a bypass on NH75 which well help bypass the town as well.

Only Katpadi bypass is an open question. I do see a clear connecting road coming up close to VIT connecting to Vellore-Kanchi 6-lane past Walaja toll.
