en.Wedoany.com Reported - The central government has approved the construction of a connecting road near LA Sagaram to restore connectivity disrupted by the six-laning of National Highway-71, providing convenience for residents of villages near Naidupeta. Previously, Tirupati constituency MP Maddila Gurumoorthy submitted representations to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways after receiving complaints from villagers and residents of Avani Apartment regarding difficulties caused by the lack of a service road. Authorities stated that this new connecting road will re-establish direct access to Naidupeta town for the affected communities.
Residents of Mandabayalu, Karumanchivari Khandriga, Kanuru, Talavayapadu Harijanawada, and Avani Apartment reported that despite the construction of a box culvert near LA Sagaram, the lack of a connecting road cut off their direct route. This disruption forced students, farmers, and others to travel an additional three kilometers to reach educational, agricultural, and commercial centers in Naidupeta. After submitting representations to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari in February, the ministry directed the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to review the matter.
On April 12, NHAI officials inspected and found that a traditional cart track between 54.800 km and 55.100 km had been interrupted by the highway expansion project. Union Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways Ajay Tamta informed that construction of a 550-meter connecting road from 54.398 km near Avani Apartment to the box culvert at 54.800 km has commenced. The road is expected to restore access to Naidupeta and facilitate safer travel for local residents.
Officials stated that this connecting road will reduce dangerous crossings on the highway, improve road safety, and significantly shorten travel time for villagers who rely on Naidupeta for daily needs. The MP welcomed the approval and noted that he will continue to push for infrastructure and connectivity issues in the central government and Parliament.
