The view of the Godavari River at the Vijjeswaram Locks, built on the right bank of the Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage in West Godavari district, is very pleasant, which is also recognized as a local tourist destination. 
The Vijjeswaram Locks are an important part of the Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage (Dhavaleswaram Dam) built on the Godavari River.  Their history and significance are as follows: 

History of Construction: The dam was built on the Godavari River at Dhavaleeswaram between 1847 and 1852 under the leadership of British engineer Sir Arthur Cotton. An arm was constructed at Vijeswaram as part of this project.

Vijeswaram section: The Godavari dam is divided into four main sections: Dhavaleswaram, Bobbarlanka, Maddur and Vijeswaram. The Vijeswaram locks, located on the West Godavari side, are crucial for controlling water flow and providing water transport to the Western Delta canals.

Modernization: As the old dam weakened, construction of a new barrage was started in 1970 and completed in 1982. It was dedicated to the nation by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.




Current significance: Vijeswaram also currently houses a large-scale natural gas-fired power plant. Wikipedia states that it is one of the first natural gas power plants in India.
