GUNTUR: The Guntur Municipal Corporation (GMC) has taken up road-widening and double-laning of major roads to ensure better highway connectivity by completing the inner ring road and the main junction roads in Guntur city.
The city, spread over an area of 160 square km, is growing fast, especially after the announcement of the capital region Amaravati in Guntur district. Hence, the city is witnessing rapid growth in population – the present population being 7.3 lakh. The floating population in the city is also on the rise and so is the number of vehicles plying in the city. As a result, the citizens of Guntur city are witnessing regular traffic jams and to ease the traffic situation, the GMC has come up with the proposal of road-widening and lane-doubling.
