First ever Waterway to Develop Amaravati

Amaravati is all set to become the first urban area which will get most of the construction material through waterway to build the 21.23sq km state capital. The 70km of Krishna river is being dredged for movement of river ships in the next one year from the construction material hub.

This will be the first ever waterway in the country which will be used for development of a city. Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) started dredging from Vijayawada to Muktyala which has a major cement plant and is a hub for construction material.

The project will include the construction of three permanent terminals and to facilitate movement of passengers and cargo, they will have four floating jetties. This is going to be the cheapest form of transportation of the Construction Material.

Also, such transportation will prevent the clogging of roads due to the transportation vehicles and will also prevent the pollution in the living areas. Further heavy transport vehicles are costly and known to be damaging the roads inflicting huge economic losses.
