Revised Metro DPR To Include Double Decker Flyover

22 Apr 2026 CW Team

The roads and buildings department proposed a revised layout covering about 5.5 km and drew on a three-tier system seen in Nagpur, comprising a ground-level road, a three-lane flyover at the first level and a Metro Rail line on the top deck. Authorities argued that separate construction could cause future complications, including repeated road expansion work and logistical challenges during implementation. The integrated approach is expected to address congestion and long-term infrastructure needs in a single project.

Roads and buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy has urged the Centre to approve the revised proposal in place of the earlier Metro DPR and the plan has been sent to the Centre for consideration. The project is estimated to cost Rs 9.41 billion (bn) and is intended to benefit around 1.2 million (mn) residents across about 70 colonies along the corridor. Funding is proposed to be shared between the Centre and the state, with roughly Rs 7.41 billion (bn) from the Centre and Rs 2 billion (bn) from the state.

The proposed corridor extending towards Pedda Amberpet is designed to segregate local and high-speed highway traffic and thereby improve flow and safety on NH-65. Officials indicated that the integrated design would also help reduce noise issues and minimise proximity impacts of elevated Metro Rail lines on residential areas while permitting smoother service-road movement without obstruction from pillars. Tenders are likely to be invited within the next six months and both the original Metro proposal and the revised double-decker plan remain under central consideration.

The state government has revised the detailed project report for the proposed Metro Rail corridor between LB Nagar and Hayathnagar to accommodate a double-decker flyover on the stretch that channels traffic to National Highway-65. The new model envisages an integrated structure combining a Metro Rail viaduct on the upper deck with a road flyover beneath rather than executing the two projects separately. Officials said the earlier DPR covered a 7.1 km Metro corridor but did not factor in a combined design.
