Letter No. HUDHUD/VE Road/East/SA/2014, dated 24.10.2014.

Sir,
Sub: - Works(R&B) Division, Kakinada – HUDHUD cyclone- Cyclone Damage Repairs to
Damaged B.T. Road portions from Km. 9/400 to 11/000 of Vakalapudi - Edatam
Road in East Godavari District - Submitted – Regarding.

The Vakalapudi – Edatam road is an important State Highway in East Godavari

District, having a total length of 46 kms., connects several fishermen villages of Kakinada
Rural, U.Kothapalli and Thondangi mandals to the District Head Quarters and Port City of
Kakinada. This road starts at km.3.500 of Sarpavaram Junction to Vakalapudi light house
peta road (M.D.R.) and crosses Kakinada - Rajanagaram (ADB) road and Samalkota -
Uppada road.

This road is passing through number of fishermen villages upto Tuni and number
of R&B roads and heavy intensity of traffic prevails on the road as the public of all these
villages travels on this road to reach Kakinada City on one side and to reach Pilgrim centre at
Annavaram on other side. The Road stretch from Km.9/400 to 11/ 00 runs in very close
proximity (i.e., 1.00M to 2.0M) to the Sea i.e., Bay-of-Bengal. Due to Cyclone namely
"HUDHUD" during 11.11.2014 to 12.11.2014 the Road embankment is eroded including BT
carriageway in the certain stretches from km.9/400 to 11/00 in bits and traffic interrupted in
very dangerous condition. The Restoration is very much essential for free flow of traffic.
Tidal waves during high tides are further eroding the embankment and there is every
possibility of further breaching of the existing road and Sea waters may enter in to the
nearby Paddy Fields and may cause extensive damage to Ryths and residents, if protection is
not taken up on war footing basis.

Hence it is proposed to rebuild the crust in the damaged portions/breach portions with GSB,
WMM and 30 mm thick Bituminous concrete for smooth flow of traffic..
In view of the above, it is top most priority to take up the temporary restoration work by
rebuilding the crust in the damaged portions/breach portions with GSB, WMM and 30 mm thick
Bituminous concrete for smooth flow of traffic.. Accordingly the estimate is prepared and
submitted for Rs. 50.00 lakhs for favour of approval of the competent authority at an early date.

Encl: Detailed estimate in triplicate.

Yours faithfully,
