The non-completion of work on roads and flyovers and the government’s inaction in inaugurating new ones to ease traffic congestion remain major concerns of the people of Vijayawada.
Two such issues pertain to the Vijayawada Central constituency, where the Gunadala flyover remains a pipe dream even after 15 years of being initiated, and the demand for another flyover in Ajith Singh Nagar has gone unheard of for years now.
Ajith Singh Nagar has more than 3 lakh population. “Every household has a daily wage earner who has to go to the main city every day to work. The only connection between their world and the city is the Ajith Singh Nagar flyover, which, constructed in the 1990s, is not enough for today’s traffic,” says M. Anjaneyulu of the Taxpayers’ Association.
