Construction activity is set to intensify along one of Hyderabad’s busiest arterial corridors as pillar works commence for a steel flyover and underpass under the Hyderabad City Innovative and Transformative Infrastructure programme. The project, located along Road No. 2 in Banjara Hills, is expected to trigger temporary traffic diversions across key junctions connecting KBR Park, Jubilee Hills and Panjagutta.
The works form part of the broader H CITI corridor plan aimed at easing congestion around the KBR Park loop — a high-density residential and commercial zone that experiences sustained peak-hour traffic pressure. Authorities have indicated that movement between Mugdha Junction, KBR Park Entrance (Gate I) and Jubilee Hills Check Post will be particularly affected during the initial construction phase.Traffic police have issued detailed diversion plans to reduce bottlenecks. Vehicles approaching from the Srinagar Colony and Sagar Society side towards Jubilee Hills and the cable bridge corridor will be redirected through interior roads including Indiranagar, Road No. 5 and Road No. 10 in Jubilee Hills before rejoining the main carriageway near the check post. Similarly, traffic heading towards NFCL and Panjagutta from Jubilee Hills and Road Nos. 36, 4 and 5 will be channelled via Yousufguda, Maitrivanam and Ameerpet.
Motorists travelling from Masab Tank and Banjara Hills Road No. 1 towards KBR Park and Jubilee Hills are being guided through alternate links near Virinchi Hospital, Agrasen Island and Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan to ease pressure on the primary construction stretch.Urban mobility experts note that grade-separated infrastructure such as flyovers and underpasses can improve junction efficiency when integrated with wider corridor planning. However, the construction phase often requires careful traffic management to avoid spillover congestion into adjoining neighbourhoods.
The Banjara Hills–Jubilee Hills belt represents one of Hyderabad’s most valuable real estate clusters, housing corporate offices, healthcare institutions and premium residential developments. Any sustained disruption in this micro-market has ripple effects on commute times and local commerce.Authorities have advised commuters to avoid peak-hour travel where possible, particularly between 8:30 am and 11:00 am, and again from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Public transport usage and staggered travel planning are being encouraged during the construction window.
The H CITI initiative is part of Hyderabad’s ongoing push to upgrade core road infrastructure amid rising vehicle registrations and expanding urban boundaries. While the long-term objective is to reduce signal delays and streamline east–west connectivity, the immediate focus will be on maintaining traffic flow and minimising inconvenience as the project advances.For residents and businesses along the corridor, the coming months will test the balance between infrastructure expansion and day-to-day mobility — a familiar challenge for rapidly growing metropolitan centres.
