Hours-long traffic jam at Vizag’s NAD Jn

Visakhapatnam: The Port City saw an unusual hours-long traffic jam at NAD Kotha Road Junction on Saturday. Traffic came to a standstill at the five-km stretch surrounding

NAD Junction

. Traffic police have attributed the rush to the holiday season.

The number of vehicles on National Highway (NH)-16 increased quite suddenly as commuters from the outskirts came out on roads, a police official said. People on their way to the airport stood stuck in traffic just one kilometre away from their destination.

The traffic jam was so thick that even two-wheelers struggled to manoeuvre. Flyover construction works currently underway have significantly reduced the width of the NAD Junction.
