GHMC hastens ₹333-cr two-way flyover project

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has fast-tracked the construction work on the Osmania University Colony flyover at Shaikpet, which is aimed at easing traffic congestion on the Rethibowli to Gachibowli stretch at an investment of ₹333 crore. The stretch from Rethibowli to Gachibowli is also an Intermediate Ring Road and heavy traffic is witnessed on the stretch almost round-the-clock. This portion of the road forms important connectivity from the core area to the bustling IT hubs in Hitec City and Financial District and traffic snarls have become a routine matter. The two-way flyover will facilitate in crossing the Seven Tombs junction, Film Nagar junction, OU Colony junction and Whisper Valley junction and is planned to ensure smooth flow of traffic towards IT hubs. The initial delay in acquisition of land and properties and other aspects were covered a bit during the lockdown by executing different works.
