HYDERABAD: A new link road from Borabanda to Ayyappa Society near HiTec City which is under progress will be completed by this month-end. The road will benefit several people living in Borabanda, Motinagar and nearby areas to reach HiTec City in the shortest possible time without facing too much traffic.
As of now, citizens of Borabanda who wish to go to HiTec City have to take long routes via Yousufguda, Venkatagiri and Allapur areas. The other route is from Erragadda and Kukatpally road. The link road will reduce travel time by 25-30 minutes. Hyderabad Road Development Corporation Limited (HRDCL) and GHMC officials told Express that the road passes under high tension power lines.
The link road, which is about 840-metre long and 100-feet wide, is being laid at estimated of cost of `12 crore. A small culvert is being constructed at Sunnam Cheruvu lake so that the water in the lake is not disturbed. The State government proposes to take up 40 link and slip roads under four different packages. Officials say the new road would reduce traffic congestion on the Erragadda-Kukatpally road as well as on Venkatagiri, Yousufguda and Allapur roads.
