Shaikpet flyover racing towards completion

The western part of the city will soon don one more infrastructural feather in its cap, with near completion of the flyover at Shaikpet.
Being built as part of the Strategic Road Development Plan (SRDP) with an expenditure of ₹ 335 crore, the two-way flyover was intended to bring down traffic congestion on the stretch between Rethi Bowli and Gachibowli, which is an intermediate ring road between Inner Ring Road and Outer Ring Road.
With six-lane road width, the 2.8-kilometre-long structure will fly over four junctions, namely Golconda Junction, Filmnagar Junction, OU Colony Junction and Whisper Valley Junction, thereby circumventing the signals en route and cutting down the commute time. The road witnesses heavy through traffic as well as traffic from core city to the IT hub housing the Hitech City and Financial District, the project specification for the flyover says.
