VIJAYAWADA : Works for the Vijayawada-Gudur third line are expected to be completed and commissioned by the end of the current financial year, Union Minister of Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw said in the Lok Sabha recently in response to a query raised by Machilipatnam MP Vallabhaneni Balashowry.
Of the total 287-km project, 184-km third line has been commissioned and opened for traffic, while works for another 50 km is underway. Seeking the know the cause of the delay in completing the project, MP Balashowry pointed out that the Vijayawada- Gudur third line works were approved in April-2015 and expected to be completed in December-2023. He also asked if there was a huge cost overrun of the project, the final anticipated cost and the date of completion.
