It is known to be the longest flyover after the PVNR Expressway which is 11.6 km long. The Aramghar flyover will be inaugurated by chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Monday, January 6.

This is the 23rd flyover to be inaugurated under the SRDP, in addition to 22 flyovers, 5 underpasses, 6 ROBs, and 3 other works that have been completed. The state government claims that the Bairamalguda second-level flyover between Uppal-Nagole-Kamineni-LB Nagar Junction- Bairamalguda, Abdul Kalam flyover (Owaisi Junction), Chandrayangutta flyover; have reduced travel time and fuel consumption for travellers going from Secunderabad, undivided Warangal district, Huzurabad, Medchal, Malkajgiri, to Hyderabad airport in Shamshabad. In addition to these projects, there are flyovers, underpasses, and ROBs being constructed around the Kasu Brahmananda Reddy (KBR) Park.
