Hyderabad: The Telangana government has approved projects totalling Rs 826 crore for the construction of grade separators at six key junctions surrounding Kasu Brahmananda Reddy (KBR) Park.
This initiative, known as the HCITI Junction Improvement initiative, aims to facilitate uninterrupted traffic flow at these busy signals, which currently rely on traffic lights and U-turns.
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has identified these junctions due to their high traffic volume, driven by work, business, and commercial travel, particularly to software companies in Madhapur, Hitech City, Gachibowli, and Kondapur.
To address the congestion at these critical points, the GHMC has proposed the installation of grade separators in two packages, with an overall budget of Rs 826 crore.
The junctions have been designed to create a conflict-free environment, eliminating traffic signals around KBR Park to allow for smooth, uninterrupted traffic flow.
Vehicles travelling clockwise will navigate through a series of underpasses, while those going counterclockwise will utilize a network of flyovers.
Additionally, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has integrated rainwater retention structures beneath the underpasses to prevent bottlenecks during the monsoon season, ensuring efficient drainage and minimizing flooding risks.
