GHMC plans to improve link roads to ease traffic
As the SRDP project has been progressing at slow pace due to fund crunch and lukewarm response from private agencies, the GHMC has decided to improve the total road length of about 133 km in two phases. In phase I, the corporation will take up 65 km roads in (16 corridors) and in phase II 68 km (17 corridors), according to officials.
Hyderabad: With the Strategic Road Development Project progressing at a snail's pace, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has now decided to develop 16 link and slip roads in the city in order to ease the traffic at major bottlenecks as the per hour volume of vehicles at several major junctions crossed 15,000 and is likely to increase further.
As the SRDP project has been progressing at slow pace due to fund crunch and lukewarm response from private agencies, the GHMC has decided to improve the total road length of about 133 km in two phases. In phase I, the corporation will take up 65 km roads in (16 corridors) and in phase II 68 km (17 corridors), according to officials.
A senior GHMC official told The Hans India that it would cost the corporation Rs 77 crore. He said the traffic signalling system has already become ineffective during peak hours (from 9 am to 11 am) and if the corporation did not improve the link and slip roads, the commuters would have to face serious problems.
He said the corporation would improve stretches, including Kachiguda main road to New Golconda bridge, Ali Cafe Junction to Nagole via Ahmed Nagar Colony, Green Lands Junction to Necklace road, Link road connecting to Madhapur, Botanical Garden road to Hafeezpet railway track, JV Hills, Kondapur X Roads, Raghavendra Colony passing through HT Line, Madhapur main road to Knowledge Park via Raheja IT park, TCS to ORR service road via Janachaitanya road (Nanakramguda), NHDC Financial District layout to Narsing (Nanakramguda service road ORR), Madhapur to Hi-tec city, Narsing village to Hand of Hope Church (Nanakramguda), Chandanagar main road to Sridevi theatre over nala, end of phase IX to IDPL society, Kukatpally main road to Anjaneya nagar and others. The corporation would occupy as many as 204 properties in this regard, he said.
