GHMC's Rs 826-Crore Plan: Flyovers, Underpasses to Ease KBR Park Traffic
Hyderabad: If the GHMC has its way, traffic on the roads surrounding the KBR Park at Jubilee Hills will be zipping past on flyovers and underpasses. The Rs 826-crore plan, sanctioned by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, the projects aim to help traffic move smoothly at six major junctions surrounding the park.
The project, divided into two packages covers the junctions at Jubilee Hills checkpost, KBR Park entrance, Road No. 45, Filmnagar, Maharaja Agrasen statue and Basavatarakam Cancer Hospital.
These junctions, crucial for connecting key areas such as Madhapur, Hitec City, Gachibowli, and Kondapur, with many areas in the city are currently routed through traffic signals and U-turns, leading to sluggish movement of vehicles.
Additionally, GHMC is planning to incorporate rainwater retention structures under the underpasses to prevent flooding during monsoons. The initiative is expected to significantly ease traffic around KBR Park, facilitating smoother commutes to the city's business and commercial districts.
The proposed upgrades include constructing a series of underpasses for clockwise traffic and flyovers for counter-clockwise traffic, ensuring a conflict-free flow with no signals.
The Rs 421-crore Package One covers Jubilee Hills checkpost, KBR Park Entrance and Mugdha junctions. Package Two, allocated Rs 405 crore, will feature among others a two-lane underpass heading from Filmnagar Junction towards Jubilee Hills checkpost
