Bhogapuram Airport: major widening works for Madhurawada roads
As the Bhogapuram international airport nears completion, traffic congestion in Madhurawada is prompting authorities to implement a phased road widening plan. The first phase will focus on expanding the right-side service road to alleviate transit issues for local residents and tech professionals. Future plans include integrating the road expansion with the upcoming Visakhapatnam Metro Rail Project.
- ▪The right-side service road will be widened by an additional 4 metres to improve traffic flow.
- ▪Currently, the service road accommodates 2,000 to 5,000 vehicles daily and is only 6.50 metres wide.
- ▪A covered drainage system will be constructed to prevent flooding during heavy rains.
