Title: Regarding need to construct a Road Over Bridge at LC-371 near Tadepalligudem in Andhra Pradesh- Laid.
SHRI K.S. RAO (ELURU): Tadepalligudem is an important commercial town on Chennai-Kolkata NH-5 and serves a large hinterland in the district which is popularly know as Rice Bowl of the State. There is a constant demand from all the circles for construction of ROB over LC 371 near Tadepalligudem which connects the National Highways and the State Highway to Aswaraopet. Due to lack of ROB facility at LC 371, existing ROB nearly a kilometer away is over pressed and congested and unable to serve the traffic with more than 2 lakh TUVs and its equivalents. Hence, there is an immediate need for construction of ROB at LC 371. The State Government is willing to commit its share of 50%. I, therefore, strongly recommend the Union Government to issue necessary orders for the construction of ROB.
