The GHMC Commissioner R.V. Karnan on Tuesday inspected and reviewed the progress of works on the Comprehensive Development Corridor from Nalgonda ‘X’ Roads via Saidabad and IS Sadan to Owaisi Junction, which is being developed as a conflict-free corridor to ease traffic congestion in the south of Hyderabad city.
The GHMC Commissioner Karnan, along with officials of the engineering department and local officials, visited and inspected the project on Tuesday.
The project comprises a 2,530-metre-long main flyover, being executed at an estimated cost of Rs. 620 crore under the EPC/turnkey mode. Officials informed the Commissioner that nearly 80 percent of the works have been completed.
During the field-level inspection, Karnan instructed engineers and contractors to expedite the remaining works and ensure that the corridor is made operational by April. He directed the officials to obtain necessary traffic diversion permissions for the critical stretch between Saidabad and Dhobighat Junction to facilitate uninterrupted progress.
Emphasizing the importance of seamless connectivity, the Commissioner also instructed that land acquisition for the service roads be completed at the earliest, enabling smooth traffic flow once the corridor is opened to the public.
The corridor is expected to significantly benefit commuters in South Hyderabad by reducing travel time and easing pressure on existing arterial roads once it becomes functional.
Charminar zonal commissioner Srinivas Reddy, EE B Gopal and other senior GHMC officials were present during the inspection.
