HYDERABAD: Municipal administration minister KT Rama Rao on Monday declared open four of the 37 link roads to facilitate smooth flow of traffic in different areas of the twin cities.
According to the officials of Hyderabad Road Development Corporation Limited (HRDCL) the other 33 roads are expected to be ready by July-end. In the first phase, 37 link roads covering a distance of 44.67 km are being built at a cost of Rs 313.6 crore.
The four link roads, covering a total distance of 4.67km, were developed at a cost of Rs 33.80 crore. These roads link High Tension Line to Miyapur Road, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), Serlingampally zonal office to NH-65 and Prashasan Nagar (Rd No.70 Jubilee Hills) to Narne Road (Rd No. 78, Jubilee Hills).
“The roads are being developed as part of the Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP). Under CMP, the link and slip roads will be built by 2024 to help the 8.9 million population of Hyderabad. The aim of CMP is to decongest traffic on the main roads,” said an official from MA&UD.
The newly laid link road connecting Prashasan Nagar to Narne Road is expected to ease traffic on Rd No. 45 (Jubilee Hills) and KBR Park. The distance between Prashasan Nagar and Narne Road is 2.2 km, but with the newly-developed road the distance has been reduced to just 500 metres.
Similarly, the newly-laid link road from High Tension Line to Miyapur will be useful for residents of Hydernagar, Nizampet and Bachupally, who commute on National Highway 65 and JNTU road. The distance to reach Miyapur metro station from HT Line is around 4 km, but if people use the newly-laid road the distance is only 1 km.
