Naidu opens Seed Access Road second phase, two steel bridges at Amaravati
The ₹1,519-crore road runs from Rayapudi through Venkatapalem, Penumaka and Undavalli, and its third phase will link the capital region to NH-16; a 110-metre bridge crosses the Buckingham Canal and a 280-metre span the Kondaveeti Vagu
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu inaugurated the second phase of the Seed Access Road (E-3) and two steel bridges at Undavalli on Thursday, marking a significant step towards building the capital city. The development, completed at an estimated cost of ₹1,519 crore, will provide direct road links between Amaravati, Vijayawada, and Mangalagiri.
The bridges include a 110-meter structure across the Buckingham Canal and a 280-meter bridge spanning the Kondaveeti Vagu and the Guntur Channel. Naidu highlighted that farmers had contributed about 34,000 acres for the capital, praising their contribution. The inauguration also saw the allocation of 216 quarters for MLAs and MLCs across nine towers at Nelapadu.
Naidu expressed hopes for Amaravati to become a pollution-free deep-tech capital, with AI and quantum-computing hubs, and emphasized that the project would be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2028.
