Telangana to build Hyderabad-Vijayawada greenfield highway

As part of a big infrastructure drive, Telangana Roads & Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy said that a greenfield highway is planned which will bring down the travel time between Hyderabad and Vijayawada to only two hours.

Speaking to the media while inspecting a site at Vanasthalipuram Junction, Venkat Reddy noted that the planned expressway will boost regional connectivity and facilitate fast economic growth between the two metropolitans

The



minister also took stock of work on the six-kilometre elevated corridor from LB Nagar to Pedda Amberpet, costing Rs 650 crore, meant to de-congest one of Hyderabad’s most congested stretches.

He underlined that the corridor, a part of an extensive connectivity scheme, would be coordinated with the Outer Ring Road (ORR) and ensure smoother passage through Hayathnagar and Pedda Amberpet. “Four vehicle underpasses have already been completed as part of this project,” he mentioned.
