HYDERABAD: The newly-constructed Balanagar flyover in Hyderabad was inaugurated on Tuesday in the presence of municipal administration and urban development (MAUD) minister KT Rama Rao.
The flyover has been named after former defence minister Babu Jagjivan Ram.
The massive six-lane two-way flyover connecting Hyderabad’s Balanagar X Road and Narsapur Y Road was built under the Strategic Road Development Plan (SRDP) at a cost of Rs 387 crore.
To honour the hard work put up by the workers who were involved in the construction work of the flyover, the minister asked Shivamma, a construction worker from Wanaparthy, to formally inaugurate it.
“Earlier, this entire area used to witness massive traffic jams. Chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is developing these projects under SRDP to address such issues. In Kukatpally alone, works worth Rs 1,000 crore are being executed,” KTR said, adding that some projects in the northern part of the city had hit a roadblock as the Centre did not consider certain issues pertaining to land acquisition despite repeated requests.
The construction of Balanagar flyover project began in 2017. It was supposed to be completed in 2020 but was delayed due to land acquisition issues.
