Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday virtually dedicated 18 National Highway (NH) projects and laid the foundation stone for another 17 NH projects, totalling a length of 1,134 km and at an estimated cost of ₹29,395 crore, in Andhra Pradesh.

The new NH projects help in enhancing inter-State connectivity through the Bengaluru-Kadapa-Vijayawada economic corridor and will provide better and faster road connectivity through greenfield highways.

On the occasion, Mr. Modi said 30% of the projects launched by him were allocated to A.P.. He expressed hope that the NH projects would play a catalytic role in the industrialisation of AP by creating the necessary road infrastructure.
