Andhra Pradesh plans 145-km metro extension plan for Visakhapatnam
Andhra Pradesh government unveils an expansion plan for Visakhapatnam's Metro and tram systems. The project includes a detailed report for a 79.9 km Light Metro Rail and a 60.2 km catenary-free tram system, aiming to ease traffic congestion and modernize public transportation in the city. The proposed routes cover key areas, with plans for Visakhapatnam to become the sole Indian city with both a metro and tram system. This project, envisioned as one of the most extensive PPP-based systems globally, aims to elevate Visakhapatnam as a pioneering hub post the state's division.
