Vijayawada Municipal Corporation to widen roads as per masterplan

VIJAYAWADA: The town planning department of Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) is formulating necessary steps to implement the ‘Road Corridor Development Plan’ in three assembly constituencies of the city in a bid to ease traffic congestion under its ambit.

According to VMC officials, although the masterplan is being implemented in the city many roads are not suitable for it. People and motorists face issues as space on the roads is being encroached, resulting in traffic congestion which further lead to accidents.
