Prakasam Barrage
The Prakasam Barrage is built across the Krishna River and is imposing in appearance.
It stretches 1,223.5 metres across the river, over a lake and is the largest barrage in Asia.
The barrage also serves as a road-bridge. The barrage was built in 1855 and was enhanced in 1957.
The three canals that run into the barrage traverse Vijayawada to give the city a Venetian look.
The barrage makes a wonderful place to walk leisurely and enjoy the shimmering lake and balmy breeze.
Prakasam Barrage is responsible for transforming Krishna Delta into a fertile area and is major grain producing-region of the state.
