NHAI unveils highway widening project in Hyderabad

To ease huge traffic congestion on NH-65 from Madeenaguda in Hyderabad to Pothireddypally junction in Sangareddy district, NHAI has decided to build two six-lane roads to cater to the highway as well as local traffic. NHAI had already given the contract of surveying the road work for the 31-KM stretch to Jindal Consultancy which is on the job to prepare a detailed project report.

Executive Engineer, NHAI, Pailla Dharma Reddy, informed that another six-lane carriageway will be built for the local traffic along the highway. Since the city is spreading towards Sangareddy town, the NHAI officer said that traffic congestion is regular at many places such as in Lingampally, Patancheru, Isnapur and Sangarddy areas and also in a few other places. As NHAI was not having sufficient land at Rudraram, Kandi and other places along the NH-65, it would need to acquire a few acres of land for taking up the project. Jindal Consultancy will prepare a DPR on the number of acres that needed to be acquired, and the number of underpasses that needed to be built along the 31-KM road.
