VIJAYWADA. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has achieved two Guinness World Records during the construction of the Bengaluru–Kadapa–Vijayawada Expressway in Andhra Pradesh by laying 28.95 lane-kilometres and 10,675 metric tonnes of bituminous concrete continuously within a span of 24 hours. The achievement, executed through M/s Rajpath Infracon Pvt. Ltd. on the Bengaluru–Kadapa–Vijayawada Economic Corridor (NH-544G), was announced by the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Shri N. Chandrababu Naidu, who described it as a proud moment for the State and the nation, highlighting adherence to stringent NHAI quality standards and the dedication of engineers, workers and field teams.
The Chief Minister further stated that the milestone reflects the Government of India’s vision and the sustained emphasis on world-class highway infrastructure under the leadership of the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Shri Nitin Gadkari, adding that two additional Guinness World Records are proposed to be attempted by January 11, 2026, on other packages of the corridor. Developed under Bharatmala Phase-II, the six-lane, access-controlled greenfield expressway is expected to significantly enhance connectivity between Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka by reducing travel time between Amaravati and Bengaluru to nearly six hours, while enabling faster and seamless movement of passengers and freight across key districts of Andhra Pradesh.
