With the building of a six-lane bidirectional Gachibowli-Kondapur flyover advancing quickly, another project targeted at resolving traffic concerns in Hyderabad's busy IT corridor and
business district has begun to take shape. The flyover, which is expected to cost Rs 178 crore, is approaching the Outer Ring Road (ORR) at the second level crossing of Gachibowli junction. The

hyderabad municipal corporation (GHMC) is constructing it as part of the comprehensive Strategic Road Development Plan (SRDP) of the
telangana government. The 1.2 km long and 24 m wide flyover is among the
srdp project's benefits, which also include an improved connection between Hitec City and the Financial
district and traffic relief at Gachibowli Junction.
The peak hour traffic at the Gachibowli Junction in
2019 was 9,806 passenger
car units (PCU) per hour, while the predicted peak hour traffic in 2036 is 17,711 PCU per hour, according to
ghmc data. Currently, work connected to the flyover's foundation is being done. "Works started on
march 1 and were expected to be finished by
february 28, 2024, for the flypast. However, there is a two-month delay because of problems with land acquisition, according to a
ghmc spokesperson.
A four-lane, bi-directional
shilpa Layout flyover and a Kothaguda flyover have recently been constructed in this area to improve traffic flow while also planning for future needs. The
shilpa Layout flyover has made it easier for
drivers to reach the western section of the city from the Outer Ring Road (ORR), which has reduced traffic at Gachibowli Junction. Similar to this, the multi-level flyover at Botanical Garden Junction, which crosses Kothaguda and Kondapur junctions, has proven successful in reducing traffic there as well as at Kondapur Junction.
