Hyderabad: The steel flyover between Indira Park and VST, an engineering feat by the GHMC with around 13,000 tons of steel and a budget of Rs 350 crore, is likely to be inaugurated by Independence Day.
The flyover is 2.62 km long and is equipped with four lanes and it is a bi-directional elevated corridor being built under the Telangana government’s ambitious SRDP
As the location is a densely populated with scores of residential and commercial establishments, the GHMC with little scope for land acquisition, chose to build a steel flyover here. “Even if all the property owners agreed to hand over the properties to build the flyover here, only the land acquisition cost would have been double the present cost of the flyover,” said a GHMC official.
At Punjagutta too, a steel bridge was built so that the graves underneath it, which are a part of the Punjagutta graveyard, were not disturbed while executing civil works.
Once the Indira Park-VST flyover is inaugurated, traffic snarls at three busy junctions in the central part of the city i.e. at VST Junction, Indira Park X-road, and RTC X-roads will become a thing of the past.
All these junctions witness heavy traffic as they are centrally located with residential and commercial establishments around them. The traffic snarls further increase during school and college hours as the localities surrounding these junctions have many educational institutions and also several coaching centres
