Hyderabad Traffic Police have imposed diversions around Banjara Hills Road No. 2 as steel flyover construction progresses under the H-CITI project between Jubilee Hills Check Post and NFCL, warning of congestion near Srinagar ‘T’ Junction and NTR Bhavan.
The restrictions affect motorists travelling towards Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Madhapur and the Durgam Cheruvu Cable Bridge. The traffic police have advised commuters to use alternative routes and avoid peak travel periods, particularly between 8.30 am and 11 am and between 5 pm and 9 pm.
Under the diversion plan, vehicles travelling from Srinagar Colony towards Road No. 2 must turn left at SNT Junction and make a U-turn at NFCL. Motorists travelling from Begumpet towards Jubilee Hills and Madhapur have been directed to use the Panjagutta Flyover ‘Y’ Junction towards Taj Krishna, followed by Road No. 1 and Zaheranagar.
Traffic moving from Srinagar Colony towards NTR Bhavan and the Durgam Cheruvu Cable Bridge has been advised to use Indiranagar Gadda, Venkatagiri and Jubilee Hills Road Nos. 10 and 36. The route changes are intended to manage vehicle movement around the construction zone as work on the steel flyover continues.
Vehicles travelling from NFCL towards Jubilee Hills and Madhapur have been directed to take the Sagar Society ‘T’ Junction through Srinagar Colony Main Road. The affected roads connect several important residential, commercial and commuting destinations in western and central Hyderabad, making the restrictions relevant to traffic moving between Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Madhapur, Begumpet and Srinagar Colony.
The H-CITI project is the immediate reason for the diversions in this corridor. The current advisory does not specify how long the restrictions will remain in place or provide a completion date for the construction activity. Commuters have therefore been asked to plan journeys around the notified peak hours and follow the designated routes.
The traffic police have also issued a helpline number, 9010203626, for travel assistance. Motorists using the affected corridor are expected to follow traffic personnel and signage while construction activity continues near Banjara Hills Road No. 2.
