The narrow flood bank (mud bank), built on the banks of the Krishna upstream of the Prakasam Barrage, is set to be widened into a smart access two-lane road with central lighting and footpaths.
“The widening and strengthening of the flood bank will provide easier access to the Assembly and Secretariat at Velagapudi and ensure a hassle-free journey to riverfront villages. The CRDA has taken up the work following the nod given by Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, and the new road will be laid according to international standards,” said CRDA Commissioner Vivek Yadav.
