Commuters using the PVNR Expressway coming from the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport and heading towards Hitec City can now get down at Upparpally and reach Tolichowki, IT corridor and other areas.

Hyderabad: Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) Minister KT Rama Rao, along with Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar, inaugurated the PVNR Expressway ramps at Upparpally on Saturday.

The ramps were built to ease traffic moving towards Mehdipatnam to Upparpally and vice versa. The ramp has been built at Pillar number 170 of the Expressway.
