Hyderabad: Scores of commuters will soon get major relief as the free left works near Tri-Island, close to BRK Bhavan, are completed. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), which had taken up the works here, is planning to open it in a day or two.

For more than a year, the free left near BRK Bhavan was closed due to the beautification of Tri-Island to ease traffic congestion for commuters heading towards the Secretariat and Lakdi-ka-Pul. Traffic cops received many complaints from daily commuters that, due to the closure of the free left lane, accidents were often reported.

Based on the complaints received by the city traffic police wing higher-ups, the GHMC decided to reopen the closed free left and started civil works, including widening the free left road and partially demolishing the bridge at Tri-Island to make way for the commuters.

The free left facility would benefit vehicles coming from Liberty side, Adarsh Nagar, and MLA Quarters, and prevent frequent accidents and traffic congestion during peak hours at the junction.

The GHMC engineering wing officials said the CC road works were almost completed and traffic will be allowed through the free lane in a day or two. The GHMC Executive Engineer, Gun Foundry, Radhika, said the GHMC spent Rs 84 lakh. Initially, the works were planned to be completed within a month, but the same were completed within three weeks.
