Update on Naidupeta Tirupathi road.
I call this the last headache in my Vijayawada-Bangalore drive. Used to be such a pain that I used to go through Yerpedu – Venkatagiri – Gudur inside roads to avoid the mess and countless idiots who would do anything to push your car off road.
But now, the 3×3 lane highway is open for all. One mistake I did is taking the old entry and miss the entry to highway. Had to take really really bad old road filled with potholes for few minutes, you can see from below video. Please make sure that you enter the new elevated highway from 16.

Be very very careful while driving on the new Naidupeta Renigunta elevated highway. There is still lot of work going on, construction vehicles will be coming in wrong side, obstacles will be there, vehicles entering fast lane from the gaps in median. Stick to safe speeds till the road work is done for good.

I can say that this new road has drastically reduced the strain and time.
You will also see construction vehicles that are almost two lanes long due to two long arms on either side. These are load laying vehicles (with that long arm) mounted on truck and carried to another place. Good thing is that on both ends of arm, there is one worker standing and waving red flag. If you miss seeing these, expect your car getting totaled and you offering prayers directly to the God instead of in a temple.
Below video (tractor going on wrong side which I believe is their usual side at 0:12 and massive vehicle you can see at around 0:40)
