07 Jan 2025 CW Team

The Indian government has approved a major road project in Andhra Pradesh’s Visakhapatnam district, with Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari announcing an investment of Rs 9.63 billion for a new six-lane highway.

This new road will connect NH-16 between Anakapalli and Anandapuram to NH-516C at Sheelanagar Junction. Spanning 12.66 km, the highway will start from Sabbavaram village and end near the GAIL office at Sheelanagar Junction.

Designed for uninterrupted traffic flow, the road will improve transport efficiency, especially for trucks and cargo vehicles heading to Visakhapatnam Port. The new road will also segregate local traffic between Sheelanagar and Anandapuram, easing congestion and improving travel.

This project aims to enhance shipping and transportation, significantly benefiting the port city of Visakhapatnam.
