Flyover at Ranasthalam likely to be ready in six months
Srikakulam District Collector Swapnil Dinakar Pundkar and other officials have been holding meetings regularly with officials of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for the quick completion of the flyover at Ranasthalam
The construction of a flyover at Ranasthalam junction in Srikakulam district, India, is expected to be completed within six months, according to officials from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The project, part of NHAI's spending of around ₹250 crores, aims to alleviate traffic congestion and improve connectivity on the important NH-16 route that links Chennai and Kolkata.
Srikakulam District Collector Swapnil Dinakar Pundkar and other officials have been in regular communication with NHAI representatives to ensure the timely completion of the flyover. Local leaders, including Etcherla MLA N. Eswara Rao, have been advocating for the expedited work due to the severe traffic issues caused by inadequate road connectivity at the junction.
NHAI's decision to proceed with the flyover construction, despite strong objections from local traders and farmers, was influenced by public representatives urging the authorities to prioritize the project. The elevated model flyover, designed to ease the burden on the existing route, is set to benefit nearly two lakh residents in and around Ranasthalam.
