Telangana wants to make a busy highway between Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Machilipatnam bigger.

The plan is to add lanes and service roads so traffic can move more safely and quickly.

The project has passed a technical review, but a Union government committee still needs to give final approval.

The state says it hopes to finish the tender process within two months.

It also says land is ready for the northern part of a large road around the region.

Officials are preparing new tenders for that road.

Another proposed project would build an elevated road from Mannanur to Srisailam through a forest area.

The minister asked the central government to speed up decisions on that project too.
