Hyderabad Greenlights Major Flyover Project To Ease Traffic Congestion On Mehdipatnam-Gachibowli Stretch

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) will execute a Rs 398 crore infrastructure project aimed at creating a seamless, signal-free corridor along the Mehdipatnam to Gachibowli artery, The New Indian Express reported.

The initiative which is an important part of the Hyderabad City Innovative and Transformative Infrastructure (H-CITI) initiative, will see the construction of sophisticated multi-level flyovers and grade separators at the Rethibowli and Nanalnagar junctions.

The plan is designed to drastically improve travel speeds for commuters, particularly those heading towards the city's IT corridor.

A substantial portion of the budget, Rs 220 crore, is allocated directly to the physical construction.

The remaining funds will cover essential preliminary works, including land acquisition, the complex shifting of underground utilities such as water and sewerage pipelines and power cables, installing noise barriers along the flyover, consultancy charges, and other incidental works.

The corporation will execute the works on an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis, with a two-year construction timeline followed by a two-year defect liability period for the appointed agency.

Officials confirm that the new structures will ensure a smooth flow of traffic, with a minimum design speed of 40 kmph. The structural components in the viaduct are being designed for 80 kmph.
