The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has announced that it will construct an express highway to connect Gangavaram Port and Sheela Nagar in Visakhapatnam.

The NHAI's Detailed Project Report (DPR) to the Visakhapatnam District Collector, A Mallikarjuna IAS, stated that the new express highway would run 10 km from Gangavaram Port. According to the DPR, flyovers would be installed on more than 70 per cent of this connecting road.

After a meeting at the VMRDA Children's Arena, additional project-related information will be made available.
