The minister inquired about the challenges faced during construction and checked the current status of the roads, asking officials when the works would be completed. He directed officials to ensure that there are no delays in the construction. Officials explained that once these roads are completed, they will provide direct access to Bhogapuram International Airport. The minister also instructed that road construction should be completed before the airport becomes operational. VMRDA chairman M. V. Pranav Gopal said that following the guidance of the chief minister Chandrababu Naidu, the construction of these roads is being monitored regularly. He also assured that the works would be completed within the planned time frame. VMRDA chief engineer Vinay Kumar and other officials from the engineering and planning departments were also present during the inspection.
