Projects worth Rs. 826 cr sanctioned to ease traffic around KBR Park in Hyderabad

Considering the importance of these junctions, grade separators have been proposed at six junctions around KBR Park in two packages with a total cost of Rs 826 crore, GHMC said

Hyderabad: The State government on Saturday sanctioned projects worth Rs 826 crore for construction of grade separators at six major junctions around Kasu Brahmananda Reddy (KBR) Park, which eventually will ensure traffic at these signals flow in an uninterrupted manner.

Dubbed as HCITI Junction Improvement initiative, GHMC has identified six major junctions in the periphery of KBR Park. The traffic flow is very high across these junctions with work, business and commercial trips with roads connecting to software companies located at Madhapur, Hitech city, Gachibowli and Kondapur. Presently these junctions are operated with traffic signals and U-Turns, GHMC officials said.

Considering the importance of these junctions, grade separators have been proposed at six junctions around KBR Park in two packages with a total cost of Rs 826 crore, GHMC said.

“The junctions have been designed to ensure that the entire area will be conflict free i.e. there will be no signal anywhere around KBR Park and traffic can flow in an uninterrupted manner. Traffic going clockwise will travel in a series of underpasses while traffic going counter clockwise will flow through a series of flyovers. The GHMC has also incorporated designs of rainwater retention structures under the underpasses to make sure that these places do not become bottlenecks during monsoon,” a press release said.
