Four / Six Laning
NH 9
The long-awaited four/six-laning of Hyderabad-Vijayawada section of NH 9 has started following the laying of foundation stone on 21st March 2010[2]. Once four/six-laning work is completed, it would fulfill long cherished dream of people of the Eastern parts of Andhra Pradesh to have faster access to the capital. It would help a lot in reducing the travel time between Hyderabad and Vijayawada.
Once the implementation of the project is complete, there would be substantial decrease in vehicle operating costs like reduced travel time between Hyderabad and Vijayawada from four to three hours for private car users and from six to four hours for public transport users considering the stop at Suryapet and Kodada and other towns to pick up passengers. There are six bypasses through Narketpally, Nakrekal, Kodad, Akupamula, Sher Mohammed Peta and Navabpet. The expansion project from Hyderabad to Vijayawada on NH-9 was taken up at an estimated cost of Rs 1,170 crore on Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis. The project also envisages augmenting the four-lane facility to six-lane standards before 14th year. This project which was sanctioned in November 2007 was delayed a lot thanks to Reliance Infrastructure and other companies[3] which created legal problems in addition to technical reasons besides land acquisition delays.Work on Hyderabad-Vijayawada section to be completed by Oct. 2012.
