VIJAYAWADA: Union Minister for Transport Nitin Gadkari along with Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy will virtually inaugurate the much-awaited Kanaka Durga flyover in the city on October 16. This apart, Gadkari will also lay foundation stones for various development projects worth Rs 15,592 crore in the State executed by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI).
It may be recalled here that the flyover inauguration was postponed twice in less than a month. Though it was initially proposed to inaugurate the flyover on September 4, the same has been postponed to September 18, following the death of former President Pranab Mukherjee. Days before its scheduled inauguration on September 18, Gadkari tested positive for Covid-19 and was under home isolation.
