Hyderabad’s first third level flyover, located between the Outer Ring Road and Kondapur, is set to open in the first week of June. The 1.2-kilometre, six-lane structure aims to ease traffic congestion at the busy Gachibowli junction.

Constructed at a cost of Rs 1.78 billion under the Strategic Road Development Plan, the flyover spans 24 metres in width and arches over the existing first and second level flyovers in Shilpa Layout.

The project is expected to reduce travel time for commuters heading to and from Hitech City, Kondapur, Hafeezpet, and the Financial District. It will also enhance connectivity to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport.

This marks the 23rd flyover and 37th completed structure under the city’s Strategic Road Development Plan, which envisions 42 such facilities.

Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Commissioner R.V. Karnan has also requested South Central Railway to complete its portion of the overbridges at Shastripuram and Falaknuma within three months to further improve regional infrastructure.
