Further, the chief engineer emphasized the urgency of completing work on the ORR stretch, P.S.O. median, and associated projects. He stressed adherence to design standards for expansion joints and called for the swift completion of the remaining deck slabs.
Additionally, the chief engineer directed the timely execution of crash barriers, medians, gantries, signboards, painting, and all finishing works on the Shilpa Layout Flyover in Hyderabad to meet the May 15 deadline.
Earlier, several traffic restrictions were imposed in Hyderabad due to the ongoing construction of the Shilpa Layout Flyover. Authorities had implemented diversions and lane closures to facilitate the smooth progress of the project while ensuring commuter safety.
Hyderabad traffic police have urged the public to cooperate with the restrictions until the completion of the flyover, which is expected to ease traffic flow significantly once operational.
