The roads laid on a war footing around Uddandarayunipalem village in Guntur district, the venue for the foundation laying ceremony of the capital city, may spell trouble, if the drivers are not alert.Many roads laid in Mandadam, Nelapadu, Venkatapalem, Neerukonda, Vundavalli, Penumaka, Thullur, Tadepalli and other villages are single-tracked and it may lead to traffic snarls, given the number of vehicles that are expected to ply on these narrow roads on the D-day.
Though the Panchayat Raj and Road and Buildings Department officials completed the task racing against strict deadlines, a majority of them are slippery and not ideal of plying of heavy vehicles. If there is a drizzle, the ‘kacha’ roads laid for the event will become slushy, leaving the vehicles struck in the mud.
Further, the roads laid on Krishna flood bank (karakatta road) has been raised by around 10 feet. In case the vehicles slip, there is possibility of those turning turtle owing to the height of the road.
Sharp curve
The roads also have many sharp curves are vulnerable to accidents. No sign boards have been put up on the internal roads which could be a problem for motorists.
There are no pavements for the thousands of pedestrians who are expected to reach the venue on foot. Traffic jam may occur, if a vehicle breaks down on the way to the venue.
