In order to enhance connectivity across Anakapalli, Visakhapatnam, and Vizianagaram districts, the Andhra Pradesh Government has announced a greenfield semi-ring road project 

The access-controlled highway spanning approximately 90 km from Rambili to Bhogapuram aims to complement the existing six-lane road between Anakapalli and Anandapuram.

The Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA) is overseeing the initiative and has issued a request for proposal to appoint a technical consultant to prepare a detailed project report (DPR). The consultant will conduct a feasibility study to assess traffic projections and determine the need for a greenfield alignment. 

If selected, the alignment will support an initial four-lane carriageway with provisions for expansion to eight lanes. Additionally, the right of way will accommodate service roads, each at least 10 meters wide, in inhabited areas. 

The DPR will detail costs, financial viability, land requirements, and route options. Furthermore, the project ensures maximum access control for the main highway while reserving median space for future growth.
