HMDA expedites work on ₹387-cr six-lane Balanagar flyover

The work on Balanagar flyover has picked up pace with the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) setting a target to complete the work by November this year. With the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) completing the land and property acquisition and demolishing 356 structures, HMDA is expediting the civil works. Around 176 girders and 25 spans have to be installed as a part of the project. To avoid any traffic inconvenience during the construction period, all sub-structures like girders, pier segments and other works are being carried out at the casting yard. After completion of the sub-structures at the yard, they would be installed at the site. The HMDA is constructing the 1.13 km-flyover at a cost of ₹387 crore of which ₹265 crore is meant for land acquisition and the remaining amount will be spent on civil works. The six-lane flyover will be 24 metres wide.
