The four-lane greenfield road between Khammam and Devarapalli, which is part of the Hyderabad-Visakhapatnam route, will be completed soon. The construction is moving at a fast pace. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has begun work on the four-lane project, which will cost Rs 2,200 crore.

The route runs through Khammam district for 89 kilometres. Approximately 95% of the entire 1,332 acres required for acquisition has been acquired. In Khammam district, the four-lane road has been separated into three packages. Two packages have been taken up by HG Infra, a Delhi-based company, and the remaining package has been taken up by KMV of AP.

NHAI project officer V Durga Prasad said, “We are expecting the completion of the road by 2024.” Once the road gets operational, the distance between Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad will come down by 56 km. Already 8 km of BT road has been laid. “We have paid Rs 200 crore to farmers for acquiring land for the road. We have to make a balance payment of Rs 10 crore only,” he added.
