Amaravati: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday proposed to build a beach corridor from Visakhapatnam to Bogapuram for a distance of 48 km to give a fillip to beach tourism.

He asked the officials at a review meeting with the Roads and Buildings department to initiate the process forthwith.

The Chief Minister said the proposed Visakhapatnam-Tada and Kakinada will replicate Los Angles-Sandigo beach road.

He instructed the officials to complete land acquisition for Amaravati- Anantapur express highway within three months to throw it open for traffic by 2019.

He said the beach roads should be developed in three phases involving Bhimili- Visakha, Bhimili- Kakinada and Visakha- Tada sections.

The Chief Minister reviewed the three designs on Visakhapatnam- Raipur national highway and preferred the second option as it could be taken up with loss of less forest cover.

The Chief Minister said that the Express highway should be straight and final designs should be submitted in fifteen days.

He asked the officials to appoint special teams for land acquisition. The Chief Minister advised the railway officials to plan for developing a speed track along with the express highway.

CRDA commissioner Sridhar gave a presentation on the proposed 195 km outer ring road connecting Amaravati with the changes in alignment.

Chief Minister suggested the officials to design 8-lane outer ring road to meet the future demands instead of 6-lane road.

He said an economic city could be developed near Paritala and Krosuru in 5,000 acres of land. The Chief Minister asked the railway authorities to plan for a railway line along with the Amaravati outer ring road.

He enquired the officials over proposed 372 km Chennai-Visakhapatnam industrial corridor to be developed with the assistance of ADB.
