HYDERABAD: In preparation for future traffic demands, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has initiated a series of crucial infrastructure projects, which include the widening and strengthening of the existing road from Bachupally Junction to Bowrampet, construction of a four-lane flyover at Bachupally Junction and the widening and strengthening of the existing road from Bahadurpally to Kompally, covering a distance of 7 km.

The construction of a four-lane flyover at Bachupally X Roads will help alleviate heavy traffic congestion from Miyapur X Roads to Bolarum. This will reduce traffic congestion, enhance mobility, decrease travel times and improve overall road safety throughout the entire stretch.

Moreover, the creation of a four-lane road from Bachupally X Roads to Bowrampet, complete with entry and exit ramps for the Outer Ring Road, will greatly enhance north-west connectivity, officials said.
