Regional Ring Road to change face of erstwhile Medak district

The RRR will improve the connectivity to Sangareddy, Siddipet and Medak districts and towns such as Gajwel, Toopran, Narsapur, Jagadevpur, Kandi and other places in the district

Sangareddy: The proposed Regional Ring Road (RRR), the brainchild of former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, will provide a facelift to the erstwhile Medak district. Since the works of the 161 km long highway are all set to be grounded by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the RRR will improve the connectivity to Sangareddy, Siddipet and Medak districts and towns such as Gajwel, Toopran, Narsapur, Jagadevpur, Kandi and other places in the district.

As many as 110 km of the RRR is passing through the erstwhile Medak. The RRR will start at Girmapur in Sangareddy close to NH-65 and end at Choutuppal in the Yadadri-Bhongir district close to the other side of NH-65. The government will acquire 4,500 acres of land for the project and spend Rs.5,557 crore on the northern half of the RRR. However, the cost is expected to up when the project is grounded due to rising material costs.

The citizens of Medak observed that it would lift the real estate sector between RRR and ORR where landholders would benefit the most. Since the connectivity roads between RRR and ORR would also be improved, a citizen, R Suresh said that the the entire area between RRR and ORR would transform. Of the eleven interchanges proposed on the northern half, seven would be in the erstwhile Medak district. The ORR will connect NH-65, NH-161, NH-765D, NH-44, NH-17, NH-01, and Rajiv Rahadhari. The RRR will ease out the traffic on the Rahadhari, as well as provide short and safe connectivity to many places across the State from Medak district.
