CHIEF Minister A Revanth Reddy on Thursday requested Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari to immediately grant all necessary technical and financial approvals for the 159-km northern stretch of the Regional Ring Road (RRR).
During his meeting with Gadkari in Delhi, the chief minister pointed out that the northern part of the RRR was declared as National Highway 161AA in 2017 and disclosed that the state government has already acquired 94% of the land required for the project.
Stating that 125 km of NH-765, which connects Srisailam with Hyderabad, 62 km falls in Amrabad, the chief minister urged the Union minister to approve and sanction funds for a four-lane elevated corridor in the Amrabad forest area.
Revanth told Gadkari that the Forest and Environment Ministry regulations are an obstacle to the development of the road and they also limit traffic to daylight hours.
The chief minister explained that if an elevated corridor is constructed, the distance between Hyderabad and Prakasam in Andhra Pradesh will be reduced by 45 km.
