MP's Plea To Gadkari To Redesign Roads In Vizag

Visakhapatnam: TDP MP M Sribharat on Thursday met Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari in New Delhi to discuss critical road infrastructure projects aimed at enhancing connectivity and easing traffic congestion in Visakhapatnam. During the meeting, he emphasised the urgent need for traffic decongestion in Visakhapatnam, considering the city’s rapid growth and increasing vehicular movement. He also highlighted the importance of enhancing connectivity for the upcoming Bhogapuram International Airport, which is set to become a key aviation hub in the region. One of the key requests made by the MP was the redesign of the entry ramp onto NH16 at Anandapuram Junction. He pointed out that the current design is causing significant traffic bottlenecks and that a well-planned redesign would improve the traffic flow and provide a seamless commuting experience for the people of Visakhapatnam.

Additionally, discussions were held regarding the Vizag-Kharagpur Beach Corridor project, which is currently at the DPR stage. This ambitious project aims to boost coastal connectivity, promote tourism, and improve economic activity along the eastern coastline. Sribharat expressed his gratitude to Gadkari for his commitment to infrastructure development in Andhra Pradesh and reiterated that the NDA Government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is focused on providing world-class road infrastructure.
