598.83 kms. six- lane expressway to connect Amaravati with Anantapuramu district
CBN yesterday unveiled a roadmap for building a six- lane expressway of 598.83 kms, connecting the state's new capital Amaravati with Anantapuramu district, at a cost of Rs 27,600 crore. The proposed expressway would pass through Guntur, Prakasam, Kurnool, Kadapa and Anantapuramu districts with interlinking roads to Chennai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru. A separate road each to Kadapa and Kurnool would cut the expressway. A railway line would also be built parallel to the expressway.
"This will be a unique straight road with no twists or turns. It will have many bridges and tunnels along the way for a seamless flow of traffic. Presently, it will be a six-lane road but in future, it could be expanded to eight lanes, so keep adequate land in reserve," CBN said.
With the expressway, CBN aims to change the face of backward regions in the state. He also intends to build industrial townships along the road in places where water and mineral resources were available.
