Route
The road from Chennai to Vijayawada
- Chennai
- Gummidipoondi
- Sullurpeta
- Nellore
- Ongole

- Vijayawada
The usual route is NH16 all the way through Nellore and Ongole: about 455 km, or 8 – 9 hours with breaks. It's the main coastal highway, wide and well maintained; most of the time is spent on four- and six-lane road. Because the trip crosses a state border, the Andhra Pradesh state permit applies and is added at actual cost.
