Gadkari unveils 29 NH projects worth 5233 cr in AP

Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, along with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for 29 National Highwayprojects in Mangalagiri on Saturday. The projects, worth over ₹5,233 crore, cover a total length of 272 km and aim to significantly boost connectivity and infrastructure across the state. Addressing the gathering, Gadkari said, “Aligned with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, these projects are designed to eliminate accident-prone black spots and railway crossings, reduce transportation costs, strengthen last-mile connectivity in rural and tribal areas, and decongest key urban centres such as Tirupati, Nellore, and Rayachoty—thereby positioning Andhra Pradesh at the forefront of India’s growth story.”
