Amaravati to get three ring roads

If Chandrababu Naidu has his way, Amaravati will be turned into another Beijing. Three ring roads -inner, outer and regional -proposed to connect Amaravati will change the face of the capital city region.
Once the ring road is completed, it will provide direct access to Amaravati from Gannavaram airport. The inner ring road (IRR) will help to ease traffic congestion on the national highway passing through Vijayawada. The CM said development of the capital region is possible with better road connectivity . He examined the blueprint and gave his final nod.
While 94.5 km IRR will have a radius of 15 km the core capital city , outer ring road (ORR) in 25-km radius is being planned to cover 150 km.The regional ring road (RRR) which covers almost the entire capital city region will have a radius of 34 km with a length of nearly 210 km. “The RRR project alone is expected to cost Rs.8,000 crore as the state government will be acquiring nearly 7,000 acres from farmers,“ a senior CRDA official said.
The proposed IRR will cover nearly 1.36 lakh acres in the core capital, while ORR will cover 4.73 lakh acres. The gigantic RRR will spread its span over nine lakh acres in the capital city region. The Centre had agreed to fund RRR, while the state government is contemplating to take up IRR with its own resources and eyeing to garner central funds for ORR. All the ring roads will connect Krishna and Guntur districts with two iconic bridges each on river Krishna. IRR will pass through Tadikonda, Chinakakani, Pedavadlapudi, Tadigadapa, Enikepadu, Nunna, Gollapudi, Ibrahimpatnam, and connect Tadikonda.
