Flyover at Ranasthalam likely to be ready in six months
Construction of a new flyover at the Ranasthalam junction in Srikakulam is expected to be completed within six months. The project aims to alleviate severe traffic congestion on the major NH-16 route connecting Chennai and Kolkata.
Why it matters
The infrastructure project addresses long-standing logistical bottlenecks that have hindered regional trade and public movement for years.
The journey between Srikakulam and Visakhapatnam is expected to be hassle-free in the next six months, thanks to the speedy construction of the flyover at Ranasthalam junction in Srikakulam district.
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, which is one of the major junctions on NH-16 that connects Chennai and Kolkata. NHAI has been spending around ₹250 crores for the construction of a flyover stretching 1.5 km in the important route.
