Four-lane greenfield highway connecting Vizag and Hyderabad (Via SURYAPET - Khammam) to be ready by August 2025 A major infrastructure boost connecting Andhra Pradesh and Telangana is on the horizon. The Khammam–Devarapalli National Highway (NH-365BB), a four-lane, access-controlled greenfield highway, is nearing completion and is expected to be ready for inauguration by August 15, say reports. With over 80% of the work already completed, the highway is set to significantly cut travel time between Hyderabad and coastal cities such as Rajahmundry and Visakhapatnam. Stretching 162 km from Suryapet in Telangana to Devarapalli in Andhra Pradesh, the Rs 2,214 crore project is being developed under the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). Once operational, it will offer a faster alternative to the current (approximately) 622-km route between Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam via Vijayawada, reducing the distance by 56 km and easing traffic on congested stretches.
