Andhra Pradesh Plans Multiple New Road Links to Amaravati
Andhra Pradesh is building more roads to reach Amaravati, its capital region.
The government does not want people to depend on just one road.
Officials are working on four projects called E13, E15, E1 and E3.
E15 will connect Mangalagiri directly with Amaravati.
E13 will connect Amaravati with NH-16 through AIIMS.
E3 includes an elevated road from the Steel Bridge to Manipal Hospital.
E1 will widen Karakatta road toward Prakasam Barrage and run near the Seed Access Road.
Officials are checking permissions, land issues and construction progress.
The goal is to make travel to Amaravati faster and easier from several directions.
The Andhra Pradesh government is fast-tracking several additional road links to Amaravati.
Minister P. Narayana reviewed progress on the E13, E15, E1 and E3 projects.
The E15 road will directly connect Mangalagiri with Amaravati.
The E13 route will run from NH-16 via AIIMS to Amaravati.
The E1 road and E3 elevated corridor are intended to provide alternatives to the Seed Access Road.
