North Andhra to Get Four-Lane Roads for Enhanced Connectivity

The state government is evaluating the feasibility of developing four major roads in North Andhra districts as four-lane highways. This initiative aims to enhance connectivity, boost spiritual tourism, and alleviate traffic issues in the region. The proposed roads will link tribal areas, interstate routes, and various parts of Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts, while also connecting with roads in neighboring Odisha.

One of the key proposals is a 160 km four-lane road from Vizianagaram to Palasa, passing through Chipurupalli, Rajam, Palakonda, Kotturu in Andhra Pradesh, and Parlakhemundi, Meliaputti, Chapara, and Palasa in Odisha. This development is expected to significantly improve regional access and economic growth.
