Centre approves Rs 1,014 cr for road projects in Telangana and AP

The Centre has sanctioned Rs 1,014 crore for various road and highway projects in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

In Telangana, Rs 516 crore has been allocated for a 14 km, 4-lane bypass around Nalgonda Town, linking the Nakrekal to Nagarjuna Sagar section of NH 565. This initiative aims to alleviate congestion, improve road safety, and enhance connectivity between Nakrekal and Nagarjuna Sagar.

Union Minister for Roads, Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, also announced Rs 400 crore for the development of 13 state roads covering 200.06 km in Andhra Pradesh under the Centre for Research in International Finance (CRIF) scheme.

Additionally, Rs 98 crore has been designated for constructing a 4-lane Sankar Vilas Road Over Bridge (ROB) on the Guntur-Nallapadu railway section in Guntur district, under the CRIF Setu Bandhan scheme for 2024-25.

In Goa, the department has approved Rs 557 crore for the 4-laning of a 9.6 km stretch from Ponda to Bhoma on NH-748. This project aims to complete the missing four-lane link between existing segments from Khandepar to Ponda and the Ribandar bypass, significantly improving connectivity between major towns Panaji and Ponda.

The project is expected to enhance inter-state traffic from Karnataka and provide better access to Dabolim Airport and Mormugao Port via NH-566 and NH-66. The current stretch experiences heavy congestion and frequent accidents, and the 4-laning will address these issues by reducing traffic and targeting four identified accident-prone areas.
