Illustrates the impact of bureaucratic delays and competing infrastructure projects on urban mobility and public quality of life.
Hanumanthawaka Junction, one of Visakhapatnam’s busiest road intersections, has increasingly become a source of frustration for commuters, with severe traffic congestion during peak hours. Despite repeated proposals for flyover and an underpass, no progress has been made, leaving motorists to grapple with worsening traffic every passing year.
The proposals for a flyover not just at Hanumanthawaka Junction, but also at major junctions such as Maddilapalem and Car Shed Junction, have remained pending for years. The present and the previous governments have announced plans to ease congestion at these critical intersections, but the projects have yet to move beyond the planning stage.
