Chief Minister Shri A Revanth Reddy has requested union minister of National Highways and Road Transport Nitin Gadkari to sanction a 12-lane greenfield road network connecting Bharat Future City to Bandaru Port via Amaravati.

The Chief Minister reminded the union minister that the development of a greenfield road network connecting the capital cities of two Telugu States of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana was assured in the AP Reorganization act 2004. Since Telangana does not have a seaport, the CM appealed to Gadkari to sanction a greenfield road to facilitate the goods transportation from Hyderabad to the port directly. CM Revanth Reddy briefed the union minister that 118 km of this greenfield road will be situated in Telangana and the remaining part will be in Andhra Pradesh.

In a quick response, the Union Minister assured that he will send an official team to Hyderabad to study the Bharat Future City-Amaravati-Bandar Port Greenfield Road project . The CM also said that a review will be held in Hyderabad on September 22 with NH and NHAI officials on the Greenfield road project between AP and Telangana states.

A state delegation led by the Chief Minister met with National Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari at his residence in Delhi on Tuesday night. During the meeting , the Chief CM appraised Gadkari of the status of the proposed road development and national highway projects, pending approvals and work progress in the sanctioned highways.

The CM brought to the attention of the union minister about the 90 per cent completion of the land acquisition for Hyderabad Regional Ring Road (North) and requested financial aid as well as cabinet approvals to take up the works expeditiously. The Chief minister also pleaded with the Union Minister to immediately grant all the permissions for RRR (South) so that the works of the RRR (North) will also be taken up simultaneously.

The pending granting permission for the construction of a four-lane elevated corridor on Mannanur-Srisailam road connecting Hyderabad with Srisailam ( the home famous Shiva temple), which falls within the boundaries of the Amrabad Tiger Reserve was discussed in the meeting. The CM said that the elevated new corridor will facilitate access to Krishnapatnam port, Markapuram, Kambham, Kanigiri and Nellore in AP.

The construction of a four-lane greenfield road on the Raviryal-Amangal-Mannanur stretch , sanctioning a new greenfield road between Hyderabad and Manchiriyal to address heavy traffic on the Rajiv Road between two the cities and the proposal of the road works sent under CRIF with a cost of Rs. 868 crore were also put before the union minister for speedy approvals. Gadkari said that permissions for the CRIF works will be given within a week.
