Prakasham Barrage is constructed on Krishna river which is connecting road bridge between Krishna and Guntur districts of Andhra Pradesh. The length of this barrage is 1.2 km long. Around 7 Lakh acres land is irrigating under this barrage. This barrage is named as Prakaram barrage in respect of Tanguturi Prakasham who is First Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.
It was constructed between 1852 to 1855 at a Cost of 2 Crore Rupees, which was designed by Sir Arthur Cotton and was built by Capt. Orr.
Best time to visit is in the Monsoon season that to in the evening it will be so nice to see with decorated lights

The place was really cool as it was a dam constructed over river krishna. Lots of rocks and pathways to climb to get to the top of the hill. The view from the top of the hill covers the whole city of krishna and vijaywada.

I like this barrage. Taking a few snaps is not a bad idea with Prakasam Barrage in the background. Traffic keeps flowing up and down so you hardly have time to take photos standing idle on footpath of bridge too.

Rainy season with full inflow and out flow is best time to visit. This is very old barrage finished in 1855 by the directors of East India Company giving irrigation to more than 1 million acres. The bridge is finished very lately and given name as Prakasam Barrage. Prakasam is first Chief Minster to the State Andhra Pradesh. Now buses and heavy trucks are not allowed on it but minis, autos and two wheeler are allowed. Traffic near to barrage is the main problem. Prefer walk to enjoy the real beauty of this barrage. This is barrage is just beside to very famous Indra Keeladri hill. This barrage is the source for bucking ham canal. Reaching to this barrage is very simple it is beside to NH 65 highway and at heart point of Vijayawada. Do not break the traffic rules here.

I suppose in a relatively smaller town like Vijayawada, in terms of number of attractions, the barrage is something to talk about. But in absolute terms, there is nothing much to see. From an engineering perspective, it might be of interest especially during the monsoon - but nothing much here.

One of the oldest Barrage constructed during Bristish rule more than a century ago. It is awesome to watch during monsoon when the gates are open .
