He said that from Muppavaram, the alignment utilises the existing NH-16 till Vijayawada.
The entire corridor from Kodikonda checkpost to Muppavaram with a length of 342.5 km is completely a greenfield highway. This stretch in the Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh is proposed to be developed in 14 packages, he added.
