Palnadu District Collector Kritika Shukla announced that the Narasaraopet bypass road project is scheduled for completion by March 2027 following the successful acquisition of land. The report also highlights the district's progress in economic empowerment initiatives, public grievance redressal, and healthcare outreach programs over the past year.
Why it matters
The completion of the bypass is critical for improving regional connectivity between Amaravati and Narasaraopet while alleviating urban traffic congestion. Additionally, the district's administrative performance metrics provide insight into local governance and economic development strategies in Andhra Pradesh.
The NH-167-A Narasaraopet bypass road is expected to be completed by March 2027, Palnadu District Collector Kritika Shukla said, marking the completion of the land acquisition process.
Speaking to The Hindu on completing one year in office, Ms. Shukla said land acquisition awards had been completed in all 14 villages. Nearly 90% of the land had been handed over to the National Highways Authority of India, paving the way for tenders.
The project had remained stalled for three years because of court cases and resistance from affected farmers. Its execution is expected to improve connectivity between Amaravati and Narasaraopet, reduce travel time and ease traffic congestion in Narasaraopet town.
