The National Highway Authority of India has fast-tracked the project of building 401-km long four-lane highway project crisscrossing Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The new road covering 90 km of length in Vizianagaram district will pass through Visakhapatnam, Chinthalvalasa, Vizianagaram and Salur, Odisha's Koraput, Umarkot, Baheda and Dighli to Raipur via Likhma, Borai, Nagri and Kurud. Of the total road length, 164 km falls in Chhattisgarh of which 132 km will be developed as a two-lane road while the remaining 32 km as a single lane road. The goods traffic between Visakhapatnam and Chhattisgarh via Odisha has increased and goods transport vehicles including containers are running from Vizag port and Gangavaram port to Chhattisgarh, and Koraput and Jaypore in Odisha. The existing two-lane road is not enough to meet the traffic and the heavy vehicles are frequently involved in accidents which obstructs the entire traffic. The Union government has decided to extend the road and discussed with all the stakeholders like Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. In Vizianagaram district, the road would pass through Kothavalasa, L Kota, Jami, Gantyada and Vizianagaram.
