Vehicles used to be stranded up to Prakasam barrage in the east and up to Bhavanipuram in the west, causing lot of inconvenience to the people. Finally, the construction of Kanaka Durga flyover had solved the long pending traffic problem in Kummaripalem.
The National Highway Authority of India is also taking utmost care to maintain greenery under the flyover bridge.
The VMC has installed play toys in the parks for recreation of children. Besides, Berm park and Punnami ghat are located very near to Kummaripalem and it helps the children to enjoy boating and other recreational facilities in Krishna river.
Kummaripalem is located very close to Krishna river and Vijayawada Municipal Corporation supplies drinking water to the residents through pipelines. Widening of Kummaripalem junction prompted the commercial activity in this area.
