The important roads in Ap which leads to the proposed new capital Amaravati will be developed as four-laned or at least three-laned. These road users have to pay toll for travelling on these roads as they are to be developed under the Public-Private-Partnership model.
Due to the deficit in budget the TDP government has opted for the PPP mode to develop important road corridors in the 13 districts. With the development of the new capital and industrial hubs in districts, the state government is expecting the traffic to grow on all state highways many fold. So, it plans to keep the roads ready for increased traffic much in advance.
In the first phase, the road development will be taken up with a special focus on connecting all important towns to the new capital city of Amaravati and developing alternative roads to important destinations like Hyderabad. Similarly, connectivity is to be improved to the proposed industrial hubs and corridors. Some of the roads identified for development include the Guntur-Hyderabad stretch via Sattenapalli-Amaravati-Nalgonda; Guntur-Bapatla-Chirala up to National Highway 216; Guntur-Tenali-Repalle road up to Nizampatnam port; the Kurnool-Nandyala-Timmanayunipeta road; Koilakuntal-Allagadda; Adoni-Gadwala; Kurnool-Atmakur road up to Guntur; Chittoor-Tiruttani; Chittoor-Satyavedu; Molakala Cheruvu-Tamballapalli etc.
