VIJAYAWADA: Krishna Collector J Nivas has directed officials concerned to speed up the ongoing projects taken up by NHAI and Indian Railways in the district. In a review meeting held at his camp office here on Wednesday, Nivas took stock of the progress of various ongoing projects, including flyover, Vijayawada mini bypass road, ROB construction relating to Kondapalli-Kazipet railway line and new railway line between Mustabad-Gollapudi.
He said 80 percent of the works related to Benz Circle flyover-2 have been completed. He directed the officials concerned to speed up the works. While on the Vijayawada Bypass works, the officials informed Nivas that a ROB needs to be constructed between Jakkampudi and Gollapudi. The NHAI officials should write a letter to Railway officials in this regard, Nivas said.
Around 96 percent of the works have been completed on the six-lane NH road between Kalaparru to Chinna Avutapalli. Various construction works at Hanuman Junction Bypass and drainage works are likely to be completed shortly.
