Jagadamba Junction's Iconic Clock Tower Set to Enrich Visakhapatnam's Landscape



Visakhapatnam, a city known for its rich history and architectural marvels, is soon to witness the completion of yet another iconic structure - the clock tower at Jagadamba Junction.

This ambitious project, spearheaded by the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC), is poised to redefine the city's skyline with its majestic presence.

With an investment of approximately Rs 3 crore, the GVMC is diligently working on the construction of this towering landmark, expected to reach a height of around 60 feet.

Scheduled to be completed by the end of May, the clock tower is not merely a standalone structure but a vital component of the city's broader beautification initiative.

Commissioner Saikanth Varma, the driving force behind this endeavor, recently undertook an inspection of the construction progress at Jagadamba Junction.

Alongside the clock tower, renovations at nearby circles such as Lepakshi Junction are also underway, symbolizing the comprehensive approach adopted by the GVMC towards urban enhancement.

In his directive to Supervising Engineers Vinay Kumar and Satyanarayana Raju, Commissioner Varma emphasized the importance of timely completion and quality execution.

Moreover, efforts to eradicate encroachments along the designated areas signify the GVMC's commitment to ensuring a seamless urban experience for residents and visitors alike.


This initiative forms part of a larger citywide beautification project, encompassing enhancements to 20 junctions and 16 roads, with an estimated budget of Rs 25 crore.

Beyond the mere construction of the clock tower, the project entails the installation of a fountain and meticulous landscaping, aimed at elevating the aesthetic appeal of the city.

Visakhapatnam's affinity for clock towers dates back centuries, with structures erected by colonial powers like the Dutch and British standing as timeless testaments to the city's heritage.

From the historic Bheemili Tower to the iconic King George Hospital clock tower, these architectural marvels have long defined Visakhapatnam's identity.

With the addition of the clock tower at Jagadamba Junction, Visakhapatnam embarks on a new chapter in its architectural journey, blending tradition with modernity to create a cityscape that is both captivating and enduring.

As construction nears completion, anticipation builds, heralding the dawn of a new landmark that will etch itself into the city's collective memory for generations to come.
