The bustling cities of Vijayawada, Guntur, and their surrounding districts are gearing up for a significant disruption in their daily commute as Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepares to grace the region with his presence on May 2. This high-profile visit will see a massive traffic diversion in the erstwhile Krishna and Guntur districts, affecting thousands of commuters and travelers.
The Prime Minister's itinerary includes a public address and participation in developmental projects in Amaravati, the capital city. To ensure his safety and a seamless event, the state police have meticulously planned traffic diversions, which will be in effect for an extended period, from 5 am to 10 pm. This diversion will impact multiple routes, causing a ripple effect on travel plans across the region. Vehicles traveling between Chennai and Vizag, for instance, will face detours, with the Chennai-bound traffic rerouted through Trovagunta, Chirala, and Bapatla, while those heading to Vizag will navigate through Hanuman Junction and Gudivada.
Multi-axle vehicles, a common sight on these highways, will also face significant delays. The police have designated specific halt points for these vehicles, including Chilakaluripeta, Ongole, and Nellore for Chennai-bound traffic and Hanuman Junction for those heading in the opposite direction. These measures, though necessary for the PM's security and the event's success, will undoubtedly test the patience of travelers and commuters. The state police have urged the public to cooperate, emphasizing that these temporary inconveniences are a small price to pay for a successful and secure high-profile event.
