Union Cabinet Approves Additional Railway Lines for Gummidipoondi-Gudur Section
The Union Cabinet approved a ₹2,229 crore project to add third and fourth railway lines along the 90 km Gummidipoondi-Gudur section, enhancing connectivity between Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. This upgrade aims to decongest the busy Gudur junction on key routes linking Chennai, Vijayawada, and Tirupati. The project includes constructing 21 major bridges and 161 smaller bridges and overpasses, with completion expected in four years. The section is part of major industrial and economic corridors, including the Vizag-Chennai Industrial Corridor and East Coast Economic Corridor.
