Construction of three flyovers and one underpass at IIIT Junction and Khajaguda Junction in Cyberabad continues at a slow pace, causing inconvenience to commuters. Civic officials have directed the executing agency to speed up work, with completion targeted for May 2027.
Hyderabad: Commuters at the two key junctions of IIIT Junction and Khajaguda Junction in Cyberabad continue to face inconveniences as works on three flyovers and one underpass progressed at a slow pace.
The foundation works, pier construction, pier cap works, and girder casting have been underway at the work sites. The ongoing monsoon contributed to the slow progress, even as commuters’ anxiety rises as to when the works would be completed.
With traffic woes continuing at IIIT Junction and Khajaguda Junction for the past few months, civic body officials visited these areas and issued directions on accelerating the pace of works and set a target to complete them by May 2027.
A Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) engineering official told ‘Telangana Today’ that the agency concerned was asked to complete the infra works within the schedule, keeping in view the hardships faced by commuters on a daily basis.
