The expansion of four key roads, including E-5, E-11, E-13, and E-15 under the Amaravati trunk infrastructure, was approved during the meeting. The project will connect the four roads to National Highway 16.
Following the meeting, Minister for Municipal Adminstration and Urban Development Ponguru Narayana explained about the resolutions and approvals of CRDA. He said that these changes mark a significant step forward in the infrastructure growth of Amaravati, boosting the region’s economic potential.
