Four new flyovers at Uppal junction 

With the aim of easing traffic congestion, GHMC has started construction of four flyovers near Uppal junction, as part of the Strategic Road Development Plan (SRDP). 

The four lane 6.25-kilometre long elevated corridor is built from Narapally up to Uppal junction. Also, the NHAI is taking up another 1.5 kilometre flyover in Amberpet, to speed up the construction work. This will help unconstrained traffic flow arriving at the junction from the Ramanthapur side. 

The State government requested the NHAI to extend the elevated corridor over the Uppal junction, in order to avoid traffic left at the junction. 

GHMC’s portion of elevated corridor will come to over a kilometre in length. 

This apart, two more flyovers are planned on the Inner Ring Road parallel to the Metro Rail corridor above the junction, with a length of 445 metres. The fourth flyover is planned with a steep curve, from Ramanthapur towards Uppal Stadium road, with a length of 440 metres. 

GHMC is the primary agency for all the SRDP components at the Uppal junction that had been constructed  by HMDA beginning with instructions from Minister for Municipal Administration & Urban Development K.T. Rama Rao, as HMDA. While the elevated corridor work carried out by NHAI had been progressing at a speedy pace for the last two years, HMDA had not done their part of the work. 

Mr. Rama Rao asked GHMC to take over the works from HMDA to avoid any further delays. As per the officials the structures may take over two years for completion.
