No dedicated road yet from Vizianagaram to Bhogapuram airport
The Andhra Pradesh government has yet to develop dedicated road connectivity to the new Bhogapuram airport from Vizianagaram, citing a lack of funds. While routes from Visakhapatnam have been prioritized, residents and travelers face significant traffic congestion on the existing, inadequate road network.
Why it matters
Infrastructure delays can hinder regional economic development and accessibility to critical transportation hubs like new airports.
The Andhra Pradesh government is yet to focus on dedicated road connectivity from Vizianagaram to the new airport at Bhogapuram on National Highway 16. The government has developed nearly seven roads from Visakhapatnam to the airport , but decided to take up the Vizianagaram roads in the “next phase”.
The Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA) has identified the Vizianagaram Ice Factory Junction-Dharmapuri-Chintalavalasa-Bhogapuram stretch as one of the important routes and kept it in the master plan. However, in the absence of funds, the VMRDA has not taken up the road.
