The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has approved several key infrastructure projects for Vijayawada and Andhra Pradesh in its annual plan for 2024-25.

The state government’s dedicated efforts have successfully secured 12,029 INR-Crore for nine highway projects.

Among the most significant infrastructure projects approved by NHAI is the 50km Vijayawada East bypass.

This project will help alleviate traffic congestion and complement the existing bypass from Chinnavutapalli to Kaja. An estimated amount of Rs 2,716 crore has been allotted for this project. Additionally, a consultancy firm has already prepared three alignment options.

Once the alignment is chosen, it will be further sent to NHAI’s head office by the end of the month. Later on, the DPR will be drafted, and the land acquisition process will begin.
