Hyderabad’s IIIT-H junction to get 3 flyovers, underpass to ease traffic
A major Rs 459-crore infrastructure project at Hyderabad’s IIIT-H junction will add three flyovers and one underpass to ease heavy traffic. The project aims to create signal-free movement and improve connectivity, with completion targeted by 2028.
Hyderabad: The ever-busy junction near the International Institute of Information Technology – Hyderabad (IIIT-H) in Gachibowli is set to get three new flyovers and one underpass to address the persistent traffic woes.
The junction, which is a nerve centre for traffic connecting scores of IT and ITES facilities apart from commercial complexes and eateries, links IIIT-H, sports stadium, TCS, a popular eat street, and ISB, among others. A part of the Mumbai old highway, the entire road corridor is abuzz with traffic moving from Patancheru, BHEL, Hitec City, Madhapur, Manikonda, Tellapur and other surrounding areas.
Deep excavation works at the IIIT junction have been going on for the past couple of months, and civil works, including pillars, are now taking off. Nearly half a dozen pillars are raised along Serilingampally road for the proposed flyover landing from DLF Road towards Gachibowli Stadium. Officials said this stretch was selected first to avoid a complete shutdown of traffic movement at the IIIT-H junction.
Though erstwhile GHMC initially proposed the flyovers and underpass network and tenders were finalised in 2025, the works commenced now by the newly constituted Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC).
CMC Assistant Engineer, Shiva Krisha, told ‘Telangana Today’ that an amount of Rs 459 crore will be spent for this mega infrastructure project aimed at improving connectivity, signal-free interchange and streamlining vehicular flow in and around the area. “We target to complete all the flyovers and underpasses by 2028,” he said.
Also, the CMC is widening and developing a 215-foot road from the Cyberabad Police Commissioner’s office to Gachibowli Junction and a 150-foot road from Anjaiah Nagar to Ramky Tower at the IIIT junction for commuters.
According to estimates, around 2.60 lakh to 3 lakh vehicles travel between Serilingampally and Gachibowli on a daily basis, while another 1 lakh to 2.5 lakh vehicles commute on the ISB-DLF Road stretch in both directions.
Infrastructure project at IIIT-H junction:
• 4-lane bi-directional flyover (level-1) from ISB Road to DLF Road
• 3-lane unidirectional flyover (level-2) from DLF Road to Gachibowli Stadium
• 3-lane unidirectional flyover from ISB Road to Gachibowli (Indira Nagar)
• 6-lane bi-directional underpass from Gachibowli (Indira Nagar) to Gachibowli Stadium
