Driving at the Ice Factory Junction near the Ring Road in Vizianagaram has turned into a herculean task for motorists with the continuous traffic of heavy vehicles on the narrow road that leads to Chintavalasa and Aainda junctions.
The junction has three 80-feet roads but the road that leads to the city outskirts, towards Chintavalasa and Aainda junctions remained a narrow one for decades and is now posing as a traffic bottleneck, putting the safety of the road users at risk.
This narrow road connects the towns of Srikakulam, Rajam and Nellimarla to Visakhapatnam, and Anakapalli sees heavy traffic from big vehicles, including lorries and buses, making the drive a risky affair, especially for the two-wheeler riders.
