		<Abstract>The sustainability of road infrastructure in coastal zones particularly in the Godavari region ofAndhra Pradesh is critical for supporting economic activities and efficient cargo transportationHowever these coastal areas face unique challenges including high salinity waterlogging soilerosion weak subgrade conditions and frequent exposure to cyclones and tidal surges Theseenvironmental and geotechnical constraints significantly deteriorate road conditions leading toreduced lifespan frequent maintenance needs and disruptions in logistics Consequently cargotransportation suffers from increased delays higher fuel and vehicle maintenance costs and loss ofperishable goods thereby impacting regional trade and economic stability This paper explores therelationship between coastal road sustainability and cargo movement efficiency highlighting keythreats and proposing adaptive strategies such as the use of geosynthetics soil stabilization climateresilient materials and improved drainage systems Enhancing the resilience of coastal road networksis essential for ensuring uninterrupted cargo flow economic resilience and longterm infrastructuralsustainability in vulnerable coastal regions</Abstract>
